True, but for the most part, the events of the later Third Age were not under Elrond's control. He was forced to react to certain situations around him. Elros, on the other hand, lived in a very peaceful period of time. The beginning of the Second Age was almost completely devoid of conflict, ergo, Elros had a much easier life. It all depended on situations that were not under their control.
