I really don't think elves are made like men. They must have a different perception of time to live forever and not go crazy. They did say that the Doom of Man was a blessing, and I can probably agree with them, but Eru must have designed them completely different because can you imagine what it would be like if from this point on you just continued to live eternally?

Then the Elves looked up, and despaired no longer, but Morgoth was filled with doubt." -The Silmarillion.
