The ending of any fairy tales is too cliche. When I was a kid, that was probably seemed to be the best ending. Giving you a hope to dream, or to regurgitate any positive values that were meant for children in those 'happy ending' stories. We clapped, we laughed and we jumped around when Prince Charming found the owner of the glass shoe.
But, yup, there is always a 'but'
Cinderella's life only begins after the story ends
Do you ever thought of the aftermath of the story? What will happen after you close the book? Real life doesn't work that way. Call me a sadist, a pessimist or whatever, but that's just how it really is. It doesn't work that way.
Yeah, maybe Cinderella and her Prince Charming can find their true happiness. They have kids, they sing everyday with little birdie flying around, mice dancing and singing, but do you think they can live like that forever?
The aftermath of the story is the real deal. As an analogy, from the time you were born until you graduated from high school, that's when you're in the Cinderella's story. The world revolves around you, the world is your home. You're surrounded by good people, you've almost everything you need and let just say, you keep your smile.
The aftermath is when you enter the real world. The best explanation would be, you, from time to time, forget how to smile.
It's not really a big deal. Just look at your facebook's news feeds. You can see various kinds of confessions and expression of feelings.
The way I see it, some people don't realize how cruel life can be. We're still loafing around, doing whatever we want without thinking of how others might feel, or we see a dying sight of humanity and there is no justice or equal measure prevails at all , or perhaps we're still thinking that we're in the Cinderella's story.
Being an optimist is not a crime, but people forgot how to be a realist. And when we were tortured mentally and physically, we became a pessimist. Then we questioned ourselves, what went wrong? How far can we go with all of our might and capabilities? How many tears we shed? And how many chances we miss?
We overvalue what we are not and undervalue what we actually are. After all,
Yeah, we're still in the Cinderella's story.
