God. Why would an infinite god
require anything such as beings whose lot it is to continually praise him? Think that I asked this before, and will most likely get the same responses (prescient I am). Lucky us that Eru decided to create Arda, to not only to relieve its own boredom but also so that we have this forum.

Perfectly dead? Meaning stasis - no change? Is that why the elves were thought to be more perfect then the Second Born, who seemingly just couldn't find contentment within Arda?

This reminds me of a teammate (co-ed) whom I wouldn't date even though she thought herself 'all that.' She would routinely look herself up and down and state, "What's not to like?"
