ok. can aply to other cultures as well. That jap guy who looks back and damns his wife. Pandoras box, etc. not christian btw.

>>15416392
Degenerate life denying take. Pandora’s box is a perversion of her origin. This interpretation is just twisted pessimism, the roots of antinatalism
Yes, it’s also dead, all things cycle through. This finiteness, impermanence, scares the phalical Forms believers.
Pardon the misjudgment

only a divine telos can justify becoming. Becoming without a telos is just a meaningless vortex

>>15416496
IDK about life denying take. seems usual. replace sin with tempation or flaw. usualy greek tragedies have some core flaw of the character thats brings them down.

Frodo and Sam's forbidden homosexual lust for each other. It could not be acted upon, due to the laws and traditions of their culture, the Shire. They had planned to elope but decided against it on the way and so they destroyed their wedding band and each took a good, stout housewife who bore them each many sons and our tale comes to a happy end.

>>15417478
Frodo never married, he sailed off to Valinor.

>What did the ring symbolize
Legitimately nothing, Tolkein didn't like that sort of writing.

>>15416622
No no well

Centralized power. LOTR is an allegory about the corrupting power of monotheism, and the centralization of the divine

Did somebody save that "More houses, more debt" LOTR comic from the other thread? It 404d before I could read it.

I'm repeating the truth for you poor degenerates. You've been raised on lies in a sick world, and I'm here to help you find your way.

>>15416370

>>15418109
The truth never involves repeating. It’s the result of a process of constant critical reassessment. Clearly, you’re full of shit

>The rings could then, in this sense, have originally just been Systems, that were then infiltrated by the One (Pedo) Ring and corrupted.
>Examples of Systems: the Police, Child Protective Services, Mayo Clinic, etc. There are many systems, whose intended purpose are good and meant to create a utopia (like in Valinor), but that have been infiltrated by pedo/organ harvesting/ evil guys.

>coping this poorly

>>15416360
Damn, I can’t remember where, but I glanced at a page with an epigram that said something like “Signs are signs, and sometimes they point somewhere, but sometimes they are wrong.” Or perhaps it was “Symbols” instead? Anyone ring a bell?

The ring is made because the God's have left middle Earth, the Promethean like designs of the Numenorians have severed men's ties with Gods. Without their spirits there to work and direct nature Middle Earth is in a decline.

The ring is Sauron's solution, giving the elves power to rejuvenate lothlorian and heal the Earth, benevolent power that they still wield, but the catch is they must serve him as the new God.

So he gives them a new answer with the power to stop the decay they see in the world, bringing order and mastery back, but they won't serve him. They want an anarchist equal system instead.

So he uses the ring to mar, defile and vent wrath rather than create a second paradise.

When Frodo, Arogorn and co do destroy the ring, the world does indeed wither. The story actually ends. We stop reading. So Saurons solution was actually the only way to stop middle Earth fading. The only way to stop it becoming an amazon show.

It didn't symbolize shit you smoothbrained ape. Tolkien hated allegory.

it symbolises power, it comes from one of norse mythology
https://theculturetrip.com/europe/iceland/articles/how-icelandic-norse-mythology-influenced-tolkien/

in one of goeths ( i think ) stories someone has to choose between a ring of power or ever loving someone, because if you love someone you cannot have power over them, or else you would only love yourself ;)

Yes, but they also become Buddhists, New Age I'm spiritual but not religious, Muslims, "pagans", rajneeshis etc. What's important to them is that they not be Christian. Rly makes you think.

>>15419045
No, that’s agnostics choosing a new faith.
Atheists don’t believe in any god. Hence the name.
