Is Immortality really that bad? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I think I would probably want to be Half-elven. Then I could choose...even if you chose mortality the half-elven have a much longer span of life than mortal men. You would also have the option of being immortal and sailing away to Valinor once you wearied of ME. If I had to pick between immortality or mortality though I would probably pick mortality. I really probably wouldn't want to live on either in ME or in today's world.
BTW, how exactly does the Halls of Mandos work?
