But so do humans, at least in my experience. The same goes for the hair and shiny jewellery things.
Well, I was kind of joking about the hair and jewellery, although I am pretty sure that Tolkien explicitly stated that hair *was* particularly attractive to Elves. As for the other part, I congratulate you on your experience: I am not so lucky. I know many people who find reading and looking at art tedious, or even foolish, and many other people who think walking through a forest is inconvenient rather than pleasant. And I would go so far as to say that over half the people I know value money far higher than knowledge. (And maybe they're right--I just think the proportions would be different for Elves.)
