[General Fantasy and SciFi] Why are Elves almost always such dicks?

In many universes there are elder species of pointy eared folk who seem to specialize in being presumably superior, long lived and super-freaking arrogant. 

Sure, being old as dirt means you've got more experience to draw from, but if your civilization is in it's death-throws you should be able to see and accept it. 

Elves always seem to have some kind of misplace superiority complex that doesn't mesh with the reality of their circumstances. 

Is it that even with their "superior intellects" they're too proud/blind/fearful to see the truth that their time is almost up? 

Do they hate humanity for replacing them? 

Do they think they're angels or something?

Generally annoyed with the obnoxiously loud, violent, fast breeding idiots who seems to sweep over the land that they usually love, draining it of resoucres then moving on, forcing the elves to move further and further away from the places they used to like to avoid the humans (generally we're not too tolerant of different people, and elves typically dont have the numbers to wage a war against humanity, and we tend to hold a grudge for hundreds of years). 

Elves typically live in harmony with the land, humans tear the resources away from it, they often dedicate themselves to knowledge and bettering themselves (as they see it alteast) whilst look at the humans getting drunk, starting fights, raping and murdering each other for petty reasons, trying to subjugate others out of desire to be powerful etc.

They can usually see that their end is coming, and they blame the humans (who have little regard for the things they cared for for thousands of years) and are angry with them, angry at the world/themselves for not being able to stop the destruction of what they loved and the gradual errosion of what they were/the lands they held, and then the very same animals that are the cause of so much suffering and angst start trying to interfere with what the elves are doing, trying to steal their knowledge to twist it for their own ends, basically like an annoying 4 year old who wonot stop bothering you, then goes and draws on the walls with crayons after you teach them how to read and write.
