But that is because the ancients were more than human.

Notice that it is a hobbit who destroys the ring of power, nobody else could, be he dwarf, elf, wizard, whatever. Not even Aragorn!

Not so depressing if you look at it this way.

Well, technically, a covetous, duplicitous, schizophrenic creature that was once something like a Hobbit did it. But I think your point stands.

Nobody else could have brought the ring to Mt. Doom. Hell, the ring drove Boromir to madness and he wasn’t even a bearer.
