I had already made a topic about this, but your title is better. Here's the start post of mine:

Ok, lets say you are one of the Children of Iluvatar, living in Arda after the End and the world is now fixed and lovely. You've met Eru and hung out with him and the Ainur. No wars left to fight, just sit around and sing, tell stories, make pretty things, whatever. Lots of time on your hands.
Do you think that eventually some of your fellow Children, Elves and Men, might start comparing themselves to the Ainur and say, "They aren't any better than me without all that power Eru gave them, I could do what they do if I had that power."

I think I might feel that way, and all of a sudden you have a rebellion. An interesting subject to theorize on.

P.S. You are mixing up Varda and Valar, you really should edit that.
