Where one person is likely to oppress others while not being a gossiper, another person will be naturally unkind but not likely to hate.

Establishing what this Earth can be - with universal equality, plenitude, opportunity, justice, health, science and all the other good things we human beings can enjoy - requires that those of us who despair of that 8:46 where a human being was tormented to death while crying out for his deceased mother rise up in unison to establish compassion for ONE AND ALL, starting with the worst-off, as the primary motivating principle of governments local and larger.

For a human being to truly embrace our potential humanity, we must champion cooperation with the intent that all human beings be able to enjoy this magnificent creation.

Security in any society can only be achieved when all people are cared for compassionately and vigorously, that being the opposite of the cruelty of domination or the callousness of being left uncared-for.

To briefly answer your other question regarding if the "Power of the ring" is too great for us mere mortals, I'll just say that there are spiritual practices that transmute our tendencies to vice into tendencies to their corresponding virtue, self-evolution being a human-only ability tied directly to our sense of morality.
