ok, Bombur, but I was speaking generally. Men are Generally 'dionysian' in character, Elves are Generally 'Appolonian'. Yes, there are differences within individuals. Elves seek a state of timeless perfection. Men are driven by the fact of their mortality to be dissatisfied in the realm of Arda - which see Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth.
I wasn't really wanting to push the technical definition of Appolonian/Dionysian, just using them as shorthand.
