I wish it was like this in real life... Eru created elves as his version of "living angels", and men as his version of "imperfect souls having right to choose" or something like that. When the elves had to leave ME, it kind of feels like they were created just for the purpose of helping the "imperfect souls" find the right path. Then, after they left, they couldn't return(I don't think?) and men had to be on their own from there. Am I making sense here?
