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

I think someone said this earlier, but I think that it is better to live a couple of hundred yeasrs, then die. However, I would not want to be a dwarf, and probably not a Numenorean. Hobbits have it good, at least the wealthy ones: Bilbo did not have to work, as far as I know, an lived to be, what, 100 something? The main problem with being mortal is that you spend so much of your time working, you feel that you should have longer to enjoy yourself. We think that 'too much is better than too little'.
Thus, being a rich hobbit is the best option I can see in ME. In real life, it is best to be human. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

But immortality is not for me.
