Well, now you see. How can we talk about immortality then?
You're fixated on one idea! If you were an elf and forbidden from having children, would you agree, and abide by all the elven codes, etc.? Definitely not!!!

But here the question is different. Let's see... immortality, immortality... Only since Tolkien has "immortality" become associated with "eternal youth." Previously, these were different concepts: immortality = invulnerability, invincibility, but aging and eternal existence. Eternal youth means not aging, eternal existence, but vulnerability and the possibility of being killed. And almost no one (well, very few science fiction writers, etc.) ever thought about it: being immortal among the living is a terrible curse.

You've become obsessed with one idea!

I haven't become obsessed with anything at all.
If you were an elf

I am not an elf, I am something else entirely.

I haven't thought about it yet. I was just about to.
More accurately, among mortals. Well, or yes, the living in some cases.

Then don't spread the concept of elves to the immortality of humans! You're creating a paradox yourself!:cool:

And an immortal does not live.
He EXISTS:

Indeed.
Wizards, however, live a long time. Until they get bored.

Read Swift, "Gulliver's Travels," the third part. There, he encounters immortal people. But their immortality doesn't grant them eternal youth. And by the age of 80, they are deprived of all civil rights and formally declared dead. It was a terrible life for such people: old age, frailty, and powerlessness.

Regarding Volhynia and other such things - village sorcerers rarely achieve immortality or extended life because they draw power from the devil, and it's not in his interest to delay the "reckoning."
In the phrase: he EXISTS, it's better to use this smiley: :cool:, as it's not always a bad thing.

Hello, vampire!

What kind of insults are these? :cool:
Yes, it's just inconvenient to be a human.

That's why I think – why are you praising Liches so much! :)

I’m not an Elf – quite the opposite. They are my genetic relatives.

This isn't an insult; I didn't think it would offend you... But rather, who is an elf?

Just like that... We are similar. :cool: Besides the skin color, the main difference is that their ears are much shorter and they don't grow fangs.
It seems we're getting off-topic in a thread about off-topic discussions.
