I am currently listening to the podcast discussing Season 3-5.
The hosts are discussing about how death to the elves will be viewed differently compared to humans.
Unlike humans, they know where their spirit goes and they will see the departed again. Humans it is still a huge mystery.
So how to downplay death/murder from an elf perspective compared to human while still being a "big deal"?
I think one possible answer comes from the libertarian perspective. (Not trying to convert, but hear me out. LOL)
For most libertarians, our philosophy evolves around one principle: the non-aggression principle. No one is morally justified using force against another. The only moral acceptable use of force is in self-defense.
From our perspective, one could argue that murder is a huge violation because it is the ultimate, final denial of another of their liberty. If I murder you, I am denying your right of having free will. Key!
I would assume some of this concept could still be applied to Elves. One Elf murders another, the deceased's spirit will still exist, but they would no longer in control of their destiny. Thus, the sin.
Just thought I would throw this concept out. Going back to finish the podcast!
