I'm not sure if I'm the only one that feels this way...tell me if I am!!!

I don't think Sauron is *really* evil...i just think he's a bit misunderstood...every now and then don't you feel like making an all-powerful ring to rule all the earth and kill all the races under your awesome power?? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Well if you look at the thread in Novices and Newcomers about a modern day quest you will see that I think there is good in all.

I bet Sauron just needed a hug.

dark_one · 09-01-2002, 08:03 PM

I think there's good in everyone too. I believe everyone has both good and evil in them to some extent, some have more of one than the other. But nothing is completely evil, just like nothing is completely good. So yeah, maybe Sauron did just need a hug.

Hey, I know I'm the one who posted this, but oh well...i just have too much time on my hands...

I think he just needed a good counseler! Maybe he was having some difficulties with a relationship or in school or something...he just needed a way to focus his creativity...

Losthuniel · 09-02-2002, 08:16 AM

I think he was evil.Evil evil evil. EVIL.

Neferchoirwen · 09-02-2002, 08:39 AM

I remember "Hook"

...he was probably a guy who needs a mommy very badly.

A lot of people think it's a "past" thing going on with old Sauron.

Who would his therapist be?

[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img] I think I phased this question wrong...what I really meant was WHY Sauron wanted to make the ring...like someone said it was maybe a past thing...well, what happened?

I personally think that his girlfriend dumped him for a hobbit or an elf or something - he needed to take his anger out on someone, right?

Aramacil · 09-02-2002, 01:55 PM

pretty ironic that he got his butt kicked by a Hobbit if this is true.

Hee hee! What a wuss! Getting that mad just if his silly little girlfriend dumped him! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] EVIL! [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]

LoL...Dr. Phil...Sauron...haha!

Hey, that's what I keep telling people about me! They don't believe me either.
Hm, could have been girl trouble but I was thinking he got fired. Or maybe flunked a class. Perfectly understandable in any case. If someone had simply directed him to a good anger management course I'm sure the whole thing could have been avoided.

I can pretty much relate to that!

Someone give Suaron a stress ball to end all stress balls!

And oh, another question:

If Sauron would have group therapy, who would he have it with?

He would be in the same class as Gimli, of course!
