Much the way that Melkor could not understand compasion because he had none, Sauron could not understand the love for the world and the selflessness of Frodo and Sam that drove them forward on their quest. I would make as much sense to Sauron for the White Council to destroy the ring as it would for you or I to shoot themselves in the foot. He could not understand someone turning down that type of power for the good of others.
