The Sin of Elves

[amyrlis]

quote by Elendur

the people of middle earth would have learned nothing by just having the Valar do the work for them

I agree with this in that it was time for the men to stand up and take charge of Middle Earth. They needed to "come into their own" and this was the chance to do it. If the Valar came in and cleaned up the mess, how could the men rightfully maintain claims of their kingship. I think the honourable ones (like Aragorn) would no longer feel fit to rule.

Kuruharan - Hello! I'm usually lurking around here every weekday, but I don't post much, as anyone can see if they compare my measly # of posts to my registered date of 1.5 years ago [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]. As for the move, just put the house on the market 2 days ago, husband takes the Bar Exam in 20 days, Europe trip is 1 month away, movers are coming in 6 weeks, things are about to get crazy! Getting more and more excited about getting to not-so-sunny-and-hot upstate NY - it's been over 90 every day for a looong time here in CO, too hot for me!
