If he was going to tell his kidses not to take the oath, he wouldn't have taken it, either. Besides, anybody that takes a silmaril would be a dark force to Feanor.

Well, what I wanted to say was that if this oath had destroyed just his life, I would even like the guy, but I can't tolerate that it also ruined the lives of his family members.

Dying a painful death would not cause Feanor to see in a new light to care any more about the hurts he was causing. Feanor was already in much pain before he reached Middle-earth.
Feanor would have time in Mandos to see the error of his ways, if ever.
Feanor was acting out of hurt among other things, those other things being foolish haste and anger which were no doubt in part the results of that hurt. Though he had other flaws in his personality before he lost his mother, let alone his father and his silmarils.
If a person is in enough anguish he just plain will not care so much about others. His great brilliance combined with these pesonality flaws... his pride, arrogance, and paranoia was a deadly comination making him more apt to cause great harm than a person with equal flaws but less genius.

1stly: He was the first person to threaten another in Aman with a weapon, it was even his brother for pete sakes.
2ndly: He refused to had over the Silmairills for the greater good for the majority, and he would so have gotten over it, they were makeable again, he did it once he could do it again, its not as though he put the greater part of his power into them, like Yavanna did with the trees.
3rdly: He forsoke the Teleri and killed them and if the ships were to the Teleri as the Silmarills were to Feanor then he is even worse than anything.
4thly: He pooed all over the bond he made with his brother Fingolfin infront of Manwe when they both swore fealty to each other, by leaving him in Aman to face shame or face the Halecaraxe.
5thly: He laughed in the faces (pretty much) of the curse of Mandos and Manwe himself.
6thly: He swore stupid oaths in the name of Ilúvatar that were obviously folly and he allowed his sons to make the same mistake as himself.
7thly: He burned the boats of the Teleri, the least he could have done was to hand them over to Círdan or somthing like that.
8thly: The oath he took eventually got carried to his sons who after it was all ammended stole the jewels and killed the guards and died and took the Silmarills with them to the deeps of the world.
The best thing the family from Feanor down did was die, and have no body care, they just really annoyed me more than anything!!!
If there is anything else please by all means put it in!!
I agree with that... especially points 1st and 4th make me hate (maybe not 'hate'--> it's a strong word 'dislike'... yes that should be enough) Feanor... Fingolfin is my fave Noldorin prince and High King of the Noldor
For the first point ---> Too bad. He thought the guy was being evil and stealing his dad. Who he definitely cared about. *sniff*
To the fourth point ---> What's so bad about leaving the guy in paradise? How many people here think that Middle Earth is more fun than paradise? Who thinks that he forced those other dudes to suicidally walk across a bunch of ice?
