What lessons have each of these taught you?Moses, per torah, per se written by him, lived in egypt, per the story, per him. Specifically the house of pharaoh, per him.
I comprehend that if he did live in the house of pharaoh, that his knowledge came from the libraries of egypt and talking to god would have been as easy as coming home for dinner conversations with pharaoh.
He learned and to leave thebes (central authority of egypt) to convey knowledge to the people, was a personal choice.
Bilbo, found "my precious" the ring of power and willing to give it up, for the benefit of middle earth.
Roger, a religious friar, understood that knowledge evolves and that eventually the truth will come from the sciences and mathematics will confirm it.
I can see, from talking to you, how the last one's had an affect.
