Fairy...Fake Tales?
Do I believe in Fairy Tale?
Recently, It seems like all my chums around me are facing relationship problems. As a single, it should have been the last thing to worry about. However, the reason why I'm still single and the problem my chums are facing in their relationships perhaps are the same.
Since young before we started to learn ABC, the story that our parents read or the cartoons that we watched highly contains the "happily ever after" kind of fairy tales, the kind of story that melts your heart faster than the cheese in your Pizza, perhaps lead us to believe that all the love story including our relationship in our life should comprises all the romantic gestures or ending.
As we grow up, movies like Pretty Woman, My best friend wedding or Notting Hill (No offence, I'm a big fan of Julia) depicts and fills us with the highest hope that someday, someone or "the one" will save us from our pathetic, lonely and despondent nights. My intuition tells me that this kind of hopes and expectations could only exist in the fairy tales or movies. Did you ever think that perhaps we're the white knights in the fairy tales that we have to save ourselves? Do we have to rewrite the fairy tales so as to save the naive, innocent and foolish adults who still believe in it?
How would the story be like?
The prince becomes promiscuous with complaints about Cinderella not able to keep up with his sexual preference or worse Prince find it boring to be with someone so enthralling that he rather have an affair with the less than pretty chamber maid.
What are we expecting from our lover? Instead of worrying that your lover is having an affair. I realize that the biggest problem is to remove our expectation from the movies or drama serials that you've watched crying out loud. If you could do it, happily ever after might seems not so hard to achieve...
