You see, Tolkien whether conscious or not hit upon a central reality in Jesus’ call to repentance, that is, to turn from the use of evil to defeat evil. It simply doesn’t work; it is an uncontrollable concoction for chaos and destruction, a truth that Jerusalem would eventually learn the hard way in 70 AD when Rome would set her a blaze. Rather, we are summoned to the seemingly foolish plan that dying and suffering are the only ways to conquer chaos, because there is something about suffering that exhausts the perpetual cyclical force of evil that always ends up mastering us. Either way, let us not become Sauron amid our cause to defeat Sauron. lawrencegarcia.org/torture-tolkien-the-broad-road-to-destruction/
