"I look at the LOTR as a history of a little people trying to live their lives the way they see" As a matter of fact that is just what they wished to do. They wished to remain in the Shire; but they were persuaded to fight a battle far larger than themselves--the battle between good and evil. More importantly, Gandalf was fond of red wine. glyphweb.com Tolkien retold the Zoroastrian theology and made it into a great epic where people (and elves and hobbits, etc) chose to fight on the side of good or evil. We owe it to Zoroaster, who formulated these concepts, for wonderful stories which have come down through the centuries. Not only Tolkien or Donaldson, but authors such as Zelazny.
