Whoops! Sorry about the unclarity, Zifnab.

I do mean that I'm happy to wait for judgement day (and yes, I do believe in God). That part about not worrying about what we do here I got a little wrong; of course we should think about what we do down here while we're here. I think I meant that up in Heaven, the things that concerned us on Earth won't matter so life would be better up there. I'd still hate to be immortal on Earth because you'd have to watch all your friends die and you'd never age a bit.

I don't know if I'd want to go to Valinor. I'm still reading about it in "The Silmarillion" and the whole concept confuses me. It seems like there's more than Valinor for heaven in Middle-earth but it won't come until the end of days. (Did that make any sense?)

Hey, does anyone have any idea if Tolkien created a heaven-ish place for his other races? We know what happens to Elves and kind of what happens to Dwarves, but what about Men and Hobbits?
