Compared to Elves, humans don't put big value on appearances. They can see the beauty in simple things, whereas the elves, living in a world where beauty is just thrown out there randomly, can't really apreciate it when something truly beautiful happens.

Secondly, humans arent afraid to fight-really fight- for what they believe in. The elves talk about all the wars that humans make for themselves, meanwhile the council is just lounging around and doing nothing while the Neverseen reak havoc. At least humans are willing to get their hands dirty to protect what they love.

I get the whole guilt thing, and how it's supposed to keep elves from making bad desicions, but I don't think it's real. If it was, the Neverseen wouldn't exist. I think it's just an excuse to be lazy and not fix their problems.

I also think that the elves are spoiled. They live in a perfect world, where everything is done for them. They have bank accounts set up for them filled with all the money they could want or need. Thus, they don't have to work or learn about life to live. They are ignorant of the strife that makes good people.

Yes, humans are often pleagued by poverty and strife, but if you look throughout history, they always get over it and come out stronger, smarter and wiser. Elves don't have to live through anything, therefore, they can't grow.

That's just the beginning of my problems with the Elvin species. Very true. Personaly, as a pesimist, I don't think we will get out of this 'global warming' thing. I think it's one mistake too big, and I don't have much faith in the human race to stop it, but I do have a problem with human representation in KotLC.

First of all, how elves look at humans. They treat humans like some little bug they found sqaushed on the bottom of their shoe, or maybe a stupid pet. If elves look at humans that way, no wonder they think humans are worthless. They don't even give us a chance.

Honestly, I think most elves just don't want to admit that we're stronger than them. We've gotten just as far as them, if not farther, with no speacail abilities, infinite lifespans, buckets of money, or alliances with gaint super buff bodygaurds. We've done it all by ourselves.

Also, the guilt thing. Elvin minds are so fragile, that guilt can make them basicly go insane. We live with guilt every day, but we keep going. Even though they have the magic powers, we're stronger than them.

Also, humans are willing to own up to their mistakes. Otherwise, why am I learning about world war 2, or the residentail schools in history? Because not once in any of those lessons do they say it was right for the europeans to take children away from their parents, or for the nazis to try and wipe out a religon. We know we've done wrong. But instead of having it earased from history, and wiped from our minds, we learn from our mistakes, and teach our future generations so they don't do it, either.

The thing Livvy said, about our achitecture, is sort of the same about us. We may seem crude and dumb, but really, we take care of each other, teach each other, stand up for what we believe in.

I'm not saying we're flawlesss. Because we aren't, and we all know that. I think that the elves don't want to admit their flaws, so they point out ours.
