I'm a religious person myself and i believe in inmortality ... but for this case .. i would like to use Tolkien's words from my favourite book, The Silmarillion: "It is one with this gift of freedom that the children of Men dwell only a short space in the world alive, and are not bound to it, and depart soon whither the Elves know not. Whereas the Elves remain until the end of days, and their love of the Earth and all the world is more single and more poignant therefore, and as the years lengthen ever more sorrowful" and this is the best part .... "Death is their fate (men's), the gift of Ilúvatar, which as Time wears even the Powers shall envy" |
This is exactly what I was going to say. I was going to go all out though, and rave on and on about the gifts that Ilúvatar gave to Men and Elves, but what you said was good enough. Tolkien FTW.
