Arwen Melian,
You said to use imagination, so I will do some postulating of my own. Since this thread is somewhat based on opinion, it may get placed in the Novices and Newcomers forum. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Well, since mortality is Eru's gift to mortals, I'm wondering how well they would be able to handle immortality. I think that the rest beyond the circles of the Earth that was given to mortals may have programmed them to actually crave it, after awhile. I don't know that Frodo, Bilbo, and the rest would be content with living forever, especially Frodo. The Valar may or may not have been able to ease his mind from all the hardships and trials he had endured. Death may have been the only cure.
I have more thoughts on this, but I'm going to wait till they sort themselves out to post them. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
