Books With Pink Covers
You know it has just struck me that we have been duped!
All our lives, fairytales, movies, love songs and all the happily ever after nonsense has taught us to believe that situations always have happy endings and that you always get the conclusion you hoped for, despite the odds, despite adversity, despite all circumstances!!!
It's only when you get old enough to be jaded and enjoy the wittiness of being a cynical non-believer that you realize things only ever fall into place in that particular dream like fashion in...well...in dreams, dreams, fairytales and books with pink covers.
Real life is not so accomodating as this, in the real world we are often too fat, too stupid to realize, caught in the wrong situation, confused by our own feelings or downright scared to make things happen that way...
The most frustrating thing of all is that despite all evidence to the contrary, i have been so throughly brainwashed by the happily ever after, love at first sight, oppose an empire for you, king of men, princess of the sea type crap that I still find myself waiting for that one mad, passionate, unreasonable, unquestioning, unstoppable love to happen to me.
Now here's what I wonder, two things really, does our mad, passion impulse control have a shelf life? I mean after a certain age are we incapable of ever going to that magical neverland of love and abandon? Seems a little that way sometimes, so it that us growing up and getting smarter or growing up and growing deader?
The second thing, do we have a quota for love? I mean how much, how many times are you allowed to find the all consuming flame? Perhaps we each have only one go, what happens then if things fall apat is everything else just second best?
That's what really scares me, who would want to live the rest of thier lives settled on second best?
