The History of Galadriel and Celeborn

[elbenprincess]

Just one little random question:

I have always found it quite telling that in the Lord of the Rings, Elrond wishes that even the 3 had never been made, but Galadriel only wishes that the One Ring had not been made or at least never been found.

Why would he wish for that? I do not argue that he wished for it, I just don´t get why, all together the rings had only positive effects, who knows if Lorien or Rivendell would have stood that long without the power of the ring and for Gandalf the ring was also very important? OK, in the end, the rings lost it´s power and the things made by them vanished, that would hurt very much, I guess, but still I think without the rings the outcome of the war could have been quite disastrous.
