Welcome to the Downs, Findegil [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Interesting theory that of yours, but highly speculative. Yet if we go on, we can assume the very first generation of men was corrupted, so they really had no time at all to get accustomed to their short/long span and develop ideas about their immortality. How would they know anything at all concerning mortality-immortality? For they were fallen before they met elves to campare with. I daresay the idea of their former immortality was developed only after they came to Beleriand, out of suspended envy. Me speculating as well, of course
