Hard to Fathom..

Also, who said that unending life was a good thing? on the green books section (i cant remember where and unfortunately i dunno how to phrase this...) it said that each mortal has a certain span of life, and they can enjoy it to a certain extent. with unending life u r merely continuing, ur enjoyment of life is stretched beyond the norm to suit the extension of life- thus Bilbo felt he was like butter scraped over too much bread, or something. the extension of life does not give added power, just more time to use the same amount or whatever...soz that was a completely messed up attempt at some kind of an argument...lol

Personally, I think he's right. Unending life, unless I lived in a world where everyone else had it as well, would be unbearable. Everyone I knew would die off before I knew it.
