my view on happy endings or fairy tales and stuff.

The only way storys end with a hpappy ending is if the two people get married and then one of them watch the other one die. Its kinda sad because you are happy and get married and them the other one dies.  It is the result of a happy ending or a happy mariage.  Fairytales where originally made for adults so they where origanaly pretty gruesome ro grim.  It is not te story's I grew up with but then I heard the original story's the other day.  I'm 13 and I just herd these honestly they are not for kids but I am into some pretty scary stuff.  Yet I only just heard of these.  Thats not the reason im writing this im writing this because its odd that you only have a good and happy life if you or your partner are together till the other one dies.  It kinda sad but I guess y'all would tetnicaly be together for the rest of at least one of your lives.

    Parker, you have many insights in this piece. YES, fairy tales (particularly those from the Brothers Grimm) are extremely dark. The one that always got to me when I was young was the idea that a brother and sister might be cooked and eaten by a witch. Whoa. Not exactly bedtime reading.

    And you are right, there is a sadness in the idea that two people fall in love, join up and spend their lives together until one of them dies. And the sadness that follows... And I would agree that it is "odd" that the only way to happiness is to have a partner for life when, in fact, I know many people who've lived without a partner and are as happy as can be.

    Thanks for sharing this. I appreciated it.
