The debate about whether it is Men who are worse off because they die, they’re sundered from their home and kin and have their opportunity for pleasure limited, or Elves who are worse off because they never die, they must stay in the world no matter how much they tire of it and despite whatever ruin it might fall into, has me like aghhhhdhfkcksoad

#silmarillion #the silmarillion #tolkien #and how numenoreans are corrupted by their hatred of death and they start caring about the dead more than the living and become proud and #greedy as a result #but death was meant to be a gift!!!!!!#restrain me….#tolkien looks at immortality so so differently #to anything else I’ve seen like I think it’s the facts elves can ‘die’ but they don’t actually go #and they have life cycles of their own kind in the ways they travel between valinor and middle earth and the halls of mandos
