It might not be controversial like discussion of the afterlife according to real religions, but holy hell is it a deep topic!
hehe, I didn't expect it to be such a discussed and thought about subject- but then again it's tolkien we're talking about... 😅
honestly, as someone who's only read the hobbit, the trilogy and the silmarillion aeons ago, very little has really stuck. like, i could have remembered the parts quoted here, but alas, most of it is gone... gotta admit, silmarillion i read halfway and had to switch to the audio book since i kept falling asleep... and then the audio book would make me fall asleep too... 😅 so a lot of the silmarillion i only remember like in a dreamy haze... and the whole afterlife part was just something that popped to mind today and I thought, well if i was having a casual conversion with someone who knew a lot about lotr, it would def be a question i'd ask! so, here we are :)
