I am looking neither respectfully nor disrespectfully. I gaze without recognition of your form, and without understanding.

I’m not sure the precise number of people I need to say this to but the answer to “reduce human suffering” is not “destroy suffering humans” much in the same way that setting your math test on fire in the exam room does not assure you 0% wrong answers and an A+ by default

Rays from the light source itself poured forth and flooded over him. For a moment he stared, unblinking, directly into the eye of the sun. And for a second, wild with longing and love, he was tempted to stare even deeper into God. He sank back, down into red flames. Everything around him was a fiery blaze, and he knew that now the prison tower that he'd built all around him was burning.

The fire that burned him was not as fierce as his longing.

However, this change resulted in the “lighting of the beacons” scene in Return of the King (2003) (x), one of the best—most beautiful and inspiring—depictions of pure hope in cinematic or maybe any media history. In this cause and effect, we see at work one of the fundamental underlying diegetically mythological and non-diegetically thematic principles of Tolkien’s world, that the good shall ever result from evil, and the truest good from the darkest evil.
