What I have always wondering, is Sauron's opinion about fate of the world.
I mean, he witnessed twice Morgoth defeat by the Valars, he was defeated in Numenor, he vas even defeated by the aliance of man and elf.

So, what he would expect if he would succeed to conquer the whole Middle Earth?
That the Valars (or Eru) would leave him to rule it forever? I don't think so.

I know Tolkien explained that Morgot (or in this case Sauron) were so evil that they were never understand sympathy for elfs and men from the Valars, but I understand this for Morgot who still got chanse to improve himself, but not for the Sauron, who, as I said already have witnessed so many defeats by the Valars, and curse of Feanor, and everything that shows that Eru's intentions can't be denied.

If I (simple human) understand that, how come that Sauron (from angelic nature) didn't get it?
