Civil War if Boromir survived?

[Boromir88]

Nimrodel, yes, that does make sense, I have a different view on the matter, but you bring up good points and your post does make sense, that's why I post here at the bd.com, to hear and weigh other's opinions.

Yes, Faramir was much wiser then Boromir, and was more aware of the ring, plus the fact being closer to Gandalf and being a "wizard's pupil" helps out a lot. But, I personally still think, Faramir's "human" self would have caused him too, to fold and try to take the ring, if he was stuck in Boromir's position, of having to travel with the ringbearer for months. Faramir never saw the ring like Boromir did, and he wasn't with the ringbearer as long as Boromir, ok so he's able to hold off his temptation for a few days, I think his human self would have stepped in and taken it just like Boromir, but that's my view.
