Um.. yeah.. what exactly is it that Legolas does that you all deem to be unwise???
He's wise beyond the grasp of mortal man. His sorrow may be greater but so is his joy. He understands the severity of the journey they are on, but to him it is also one more long battle against Sauron to be faught, and there were still elves alive who remembered the last battle faught with him. He is probably one of the few of the fellowship who truly *does* understand what the deepest meaning of their journey are. The hobbits certainly dont grasp the severity, not even Frodo though he is MUCH closer to it than the others. And Boromir didnt truly understand the power of the Ring. Aragorn and Gandalf are probably the only ones along with Legolas who truly understand what their journey means.
