If we assume that everything in Middle Earth is predetermined, then probably Frodo wouldn't have had any chance of killing Gollum (be it for pity or for any other reason)
On the other hand, for us who have freedom of choice, the book gives a lesson - never take irreversible actions (like killing even a monster) untill you really have to. You never know what awaits you in future. Even the monster can come out useful. [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
