It is a shame that most people only like the stories with happy endings. I am sure there are many people who have tried to figure out what it is about a happy ending that is so appealing. Likewise, there are many reasons given why. Many people attribute it to a need for hope, or security. I think it is something much less innocent. All a happy ending means to me is that there is no lasting change. I mean, how many times has the phrase “and they lived happily ever after” ended a story? Living in one state ever after denotes an endless constancy, comfort, familiarity. Why can’t the readers, listeners and watchers of these stories accept that change IS the only constant?
No one really lives happily ever after. There is always troubles and there is always change.
