I've always disliked the Elves in general (snobby, self-righteous, arrogant... *grumble grumble*) but, having never been bothered by mortality and the inevitability of death, doubt I would ever turn black.
In my opinion, Elves ought to envy humans. The brevity of our life spans allow us to maintain a sense of wonder. This may be morbid, but ask a terminally ill patient who has come to terms with their diagnoses- life is much sweeter, much more vibrant, when one takes into account that everything could end tomorrow. Or even a few decades, for such a length of time would be insignificant to such long lived beings.
Really, if Elves existed, I would say they ought to be pitied.
