Happy Endings........???????

In one of the threads in the vast internet, i came across a discussion where someone asked if there is indeed a happy ending. I guess this means in a relationship. I will talk in general here. I will not distinguish between heterosexual and homosexual relationship. But plain relationship in general.

I was suprised when I read that there are some who do not believe in happy endings. just being cynical? Our purpose in life is to live in happiness. that is the ultimate objective of our existence. but because we are humans, we falter and fall. And we misconstrue everything that happens to us.

Happy endings are supposed to happen. Happy endings must happen. That is my proposition. Things end up sad or tragic is because we view things differently. We crave for revenge. We long for pity. We ask for deliverance. We pray for the heaven. And when things do not emerge as we hope for, we are devasted. Kaya we see it in a different way.

Thinking otherwise, if we do not expect things, then we do not encounter the negatives. And we look at positive perspective. We do not say "we were not mean for each other" . We say "our time has come to pass and there is a wide range of choice for us to move forward". Two disparate notions, but only singular in effect. How ironic, isn't it?

We always side on the negative aspect. Because it is more dramatic? Being happy is a given? is this the reason why we give it a little thought?

On the premise that two distinct individuals fall for each other, have a relationship and part ways, which is the best way to go? Happy or Sad? Of course, you would say happy, Everyone likes it to happen that way..... And unfortunately, it doesn't so we cope and become happy again. A palliative perhaps to ease the pain? No, there is no such thing. A relationship is bound to end sooner or later, literally and figuratively. Like finite creatures that we are, relationships are not a lifetime phenomena.

So what will make a happy ending? Fairy tells have all the classic examples of how a relationshiop should go, if one wants to become happy. But those are fairy tales. In reality, what make us happy then? I submit that there is no distinct difference at all. Relattionshps are just relationships. For both to endure.

So, we have to make the best while it is still there. And while it is happy. For it not, why stay in a relationship?

Life is good, but life can be mean. But what the heck!
