: As to wisdom coming form living a long time, why didn't the FA elves aquire wisdom? They had been around as long, if not longer than Elrond. Why didn't they aquire wisdom during all that time, did they put the wisdom centers of their brain on idle for a few hundred years? Maybe, not gaining wisdom was tied somehow to being in company of the Valar, or was part of the curse of Mandros, but that would only effect the Noldar before or following the revolt and not those still residing in ME. There might be an interesting discussion topic here.

Ahhh, but did they live as long as Elrond? Elrond lived through many many changes. What was changing in Aman? Very little. What did Fingolfin experience, all the sorrows etc? I think experiences change people, and the more you live through, the more you experience, the better you'd be as a judge of life.
I dunno, wisdom is hard to define I guess
