LIfe Vs Fairy tale- A short rant on my least favorite Expression
What people inevitably mean by this statement is, “Life is tough. Things won’t always go your way. It’s not all rainbows and cupcakes.”
I wonder, have these people ever listened to a fairy tale? The fairy tales I know don’t have much to do with rainbows or cupcakes. More often they deal with murderous stepmothers and deadly curses. The world of fairy tales is a world where your answer to a single riddle might mean life or death. It is a world where you will need all your wisdom, courage, and compassion to complete your task and to remain human. It is a world where the stakes are high: great good and great destruction are both possible. It is very much like the real world.
