Mhoram has just left Hobbiton.
Sting Inherent evil?

Lets discuss the idea of inherent evil using tolkien's works as the example.

Was Melkor evil from the start? Was he fated to be evil? Or is he of such creation that he has the power to do great good or great evil? The paradox by which power is founded. The power to bring peace or destroy it, to make ill or joy.

What about the other Maiar? Sauron and the Balrogs..

What of the orcs? Shagrat and Gorbag don't seem all that bad, a bit stuck on old habits, but not evil.
