Gollum’s character in LOTR represents what sin does when you hold onto it for a lifetime, when you refuse to let go of the thing that's destroying you. You don't die dramatically. You just slowly become unrecognizable.
Bilbo could've killed Gollum. Frodo could've killed Gollum. They both chose mercy instead. And that mercy - the one that made no strategic sense, that looked like weakness - is the exact thing that saved the world. The Ring wasn't destroyed by strength. It was destroyed by mercy.
“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgment." - Gandalf in the Mines of Moria speaking to Frodo

Always be suspicious of people who claim to be smart but are miserable. If they really were that smart, they would have figured out how to live a joyous life.

Israel is the church.
The state of Israel is the Rothschilds’ (they serve Satan btw) play thing created to cause continual strife worldwide in order to enrich themselves by funding both sides of wars as well as collect insurances claims on the destruction of those wars.
Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk.

“What are we holding onto, Sam?"
"That there's some good in this world, Mr Frodo, and it's worth fighting for. "


If I offered you 150 bitcoin, would you take it?
Yes.
Would you say thank you?
Yes.
The only catch is, you don’t get to wake up tomorrow. Would you still take it?
No.
So waking up tomorrow is more important than 150 bitcoin.
Yes.
So wake up everyday with a smile on your face like you’re worth that.
