Who do you reckon is the braver race in general, men or elves? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Is it braver to fight when you have a short lifespan and you'll die anyway, or is braver to fight when, if you die, you could lose out on countless thousands of years of life? The elves marvelled that the Edain gave so freely of what they had so little of. My copy of Morgoth's Ring was stolen in unfortunate circumstances but doesn't it mention that the Moriquendi don't get reborn when they die. It must take some guts to fight in those circumstances and be separated from your loved ones for practically forever. What do you think?
