As my cousin stated yesterday, spring is at last in the air. And it disturbs me to see so many people worrying about their deaths and dying at such a time. I understand that for Men, Death is often a preoccupation in its speed and inevitability, but I should think that at such a time as this, time could be better spent in the making of life.

I suppose that human children are made and grown in the same way as elven children, and are as precious to their parents. Are there those of you here who are planning to have children soon? Or is this something you try to prevent as much as possible?

I know my people do not have children in times of war or strife - is this true for Men as well? I fear that if they did this, with the shortness of their lives, there would be no men left at all.
