When it's the one life you have and limited one as such, then every word you say and every act you do counts. The less days you have, the more precious (  ), the more meaningful they are.
Sadly many people seem to think they live forever and do not care...  |
Is it not very naive to think that you can create a rule that will aply to all mankind?
If some men are wise, some rash, some stupid and some made of jam then surely they will not all reason alike. So some might reason that because of their limited time in ME, they will only have one shot at making it right and thus care more, but others might think otherwise.
Anyways the point about ME being a rapidly changing place is a very good one and I must admit I found it rather enlightening to read through this thread.
It probably cannot explain everything. . . as it was stated earlier there seem to be a difference between the different groups of elves and how weary they are of life in ME. It does seem to me that high elves have a longing for days of yore, when life was young and sweet in Valinor. Others seem to have a sence of an era comming to an end and a longing for the sea (hell, I have a longing for the sea), but it does not seem as hughe a thing as it does to high elves.
