The weakness of man

[rutslegolas]

I think you all are going to kill me for making this statement,but nonetheless I say that men are weak , weak in the sense " greedy , self-centrered " they do not care about the future generations but rather about their present state.

Like for example - Boromir even though he knew he could use the ring for good,he still wanted it for himself ,to become the King ,have all the power,and rule as a dictator. Giving another example I say Ar-Pharazon though he was a Numenorean he still desired power,wealth,immortality .

Baring the exceptions of Aragorn and Faramir all the men in Middle-Earth lived for their own sake caring not for future generations.

Unlike men the Elves seem to be of a higher make Immortal , thoughtful and they seem to think more of the future than care for the present . And I say that men can be ensnared by evil more easily than elves or even dwarves .
