Re: One hand tied behind their back

It all comes done to the business boys. Money=Power. Liquidation, net worth, You can invest all your money into a company or you can keep it. Let's use Morgoth for an example. He was the &quot;richest&quot; of all the beings of Arda. What does he do with his money? he invests it into the company that he creates let's call it Evil. He tried to get others to invest in his company, but he was the main contributor anyway. He uses his money in obvious ways, and becomes very famous, but he is losing money because he is putting all of his time and money into his company; paying his new employees, doing extensive research, etc., and not getting a return on it. So he is weakened. And then later on his company goes bankrupt. So some of his executives start up smaller companies of their own.

If he wouldn't have started his &quot;company&quot; then he wouldn't have been able to do as much evil. It is like being rich and just sitting on your *** all day or being rich and doing something with your wealth.

Do you understand my analogy. The only way for the Valar and the Maiar to get anywhere in life was to take a form and maybe persuade a few humans and elves to join there cause. Maybe some of the Ainur had more power than peoplee realized but didn't invest it into their form. Was it wise for them to not invest everything, depends on what they wanted with their life.

Just imagine how stupid a Balrog would look with wings, and why would a Balrog need them? Silly rabbit, wings are for angels.
