Immortality would give a very different perspective on life itself. We have no idea what it would be like to be immortal. We only have books and movies and fantasies to play off of. Elvish immortality I think wouldn't be so bad...at least the way Tolkien puts it. If you were an elf and you lived in a mortal world(aka Middle-Earth) you'd get pretty sick of it. Like a giant loop-de-loop, things repeating themselves in an endless spiral. But that's what the Undying lands are for. I imagine that wouldn't be bad at all. However, I would still chose mortality in today's day and age at least, because I believe that life after death is so fantastically wonderful, and if you're immortal you would never get to it.
Though I do think being an elf would be really great, don't you agree?
