Feanor Self-Important?

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

Oh? And killing your own kindred for their ships is "realistic"?

It's realistic, Legolas, it's just not all that nice. And you're right about the fact that we can only judge the actions that occured; how can we argue about how mere speculations as to different courses could have changed things? It should be at least a little obvious that simple actions can change the future in very complex ways. Example: Bilbo stumbled across a ring in the dark. Example: Melkor got a little creative in his singing. Example: Sam eavesdropped at Bag End. Example: Wormtongue threw a big rock at Gandalf/Saruman. My point: you can't judge what "might have" happened, because it's impossible to know.

That probably didn't make much sense, so if you're confused, just ignore me. Cheers,

Fea
