Fair enough, although that is largely dependent on one's personal spiritual beliefs. Surely we can all agree, however, that there are no situations in real life (on a physical - as opposed to metaphysical - level at least) comparable to the struggle with Sauron, a being of pure evil. Real life situations are much more akin to the situations portrayed in connection with the likes of Gollum (as Lalwendė points out) and Boromir.
