Was the Ring the Ruin of Sauron?
When you read LOTR, you notice that when the one Ring was destroyed, Sauron too was utterly defeated, so it would be logical to assume that it was so but, what if we look at it in another way.
Remember that Sauron had been disembodied in Númenorë, and he had been defeated in the war of the Last Alliance. Had he not made his ring, would he have been able to come back from that? Take for example the Lord of the Balrogs, Gothmog. I think that his power level comparing to Sauron must be very similar. When Gothmog was killed by the lord of the Fountains, he was unable to reincarnate himself. Now, if he couldn't do it, why would Sauron be able to? My guess is that without the Ring, Sauron would not have gotten that far in ME.

“What does the term american refers to” asked the boy, and the wise man answered: “Lets look at the dictionary then.” As an adjective American is: 1. Of or relating to the United States of America or its people, language, or culture. 2. Of or relating to North or South America, the West Indies, or the Western Hemisphere. As a noun American is: A native or inhabitant of America. A citizen of the United States. Then the boy asked, “What is America then?”, and the wise man looked at the dictionary again: 1. The United States. 2. also the A·mer·i·cas. The landmasses and islands of North America, Central America, and South America. Confused, the boy asked, “Does the term american refers solely to a us citizen or to any person in North, Central or South America?” The wise man replied: “What do you think?”, and the boy answered: “It is clear to me that while the term american is used to refers to us citizens, one can also use it to refer to any person who is from that continent too,” the boy thought for a while and asked the wise man, “Am I right?”, and he replied: “But of course.” The boy wondered, why is it that some people refuse to acknowledge the fact that the term american refers not only to US citizens but to anyone of the American continent?, but then sadly, the boy understood, that it is the calamity of ignorance. |
