I found this in a dictionary of Quotations thought it is from the Silmarillion and I think it is very interesting

"He (Eru) willed that the hearts of Men should seek beyond the world and find no rest therein; but they should have a virtue to shape their life amid the powers and chances of the world, beyond the Music of the Ainur, which is a fate to all things else"

So men have more free will than Elves .....
