Sinthoniel wrote: As Tolkien said, Eru gave the humans the gift of mortality. Even though it's no great gift, it helps to motivate humans. While easily get lazy and prefer to stay in their heavenly places forever, humans are aware that they don't have infinite time, and that they must do whatever they want to do as soon as possible. "For the Elves the world moves, and it moves both very swift and very slow. Swift, because they themselves change very little, and all else fleets by: it is a grief to them. Slow, because they do not count the running years, not for themselves. The passing seasons are but ripples ever repeated in the long long stream."
