But it was probably easier for Bilbo to resist the temptation of the Ring than it was for Borimir. Borimir had the burning feeling that he must have it, and soon, if we was going to save his people with it. Although Borimir wanted this Ring for glory, Bilbo only wanted to keep his precious trinket. I can easily imagine it being just as hard on Borimir than Bilbo, even though Bilbo had it for 50 or 60 years and Borimir only had the desire of it for four to six months (I do't remember all the exact dates).
After all, as Gandalf said,"Hobbits are made of stronger (or sterner) stuff than meets the eye!"that includes stronger will to resist temptation as well. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]
