the short and sweet of it
If you love someone and then hate them the next minute, then that means that you are in love!
At least, that's what I learned (and confirmed) from a tv show recently, and it goes to show how dependent a person can be over something or someone.
As for Gollum, he was dependent on the Ring, and it was the very thing that made him into what he was, and he didn't even fight it for his life (and sanity).
Morgoth, as I see it, loved the silmarils the way he seemed addicted to it, was because it was such a power trip for him to own something in spite of his own evil self. It was his own way of showing Middle Earth that he is the boss of everything, including good and evil.
Desire is the driving force behind the evils that plague the doomed characters in ME.
