Fairy Tales
Fairy Tales.
Fairy tales got it wrong.No one lived happily ever after .No One !
Cinderella got bored , had an affair with the stable boy and ran away , only to be executed after a kingdomwide manhunt.
The prince , who was frustrated with cinderella's peasant-ness, got himself a mistress while plotting to execute cinderella by accusing her of witchcraft , but died a painful death by lead poisoning which was administered to him for the gonorrhoea which he got from his mistress.
Snow White hated the 7 dwarfs(They ogled too much !) , ate a poisoned mushroom and died , and the prince refused to kiss her rotting corpse , got himself a mistress, caught syphilis and died mad as a hatter.
The sleeping beauty died tragically of an overdose.Her body is now buried in The bahamas after a long legal battle.
Two knights claim to have fathered her child and had to duel to death claiming the custody of the child and sleeping beauty's kingdom.
Both knights died of tetanus.
.Peter Pan saw that today's world is filled with the likes of Michael Jackson and Pee-wee Herman and clergy involved in pederasty and other forms of shameful paraphilia.
He grew up !
Childhood was not so innocent anymore.
People expect Fairy Tales to come true to them.
Millions of old Maids are sadly waiting for their Prince Charming to come and sweep them off their feet, while millions of men search in vain for dragons to slay and damsels to rescue.
Let us digress a little...
Every man's life is a fairy tale written by god's fingers -Hans Christian Andersen
Sure Mr.Hans , you'll say so when you have just compiled folk stories from all over the country and published them collectively .Its good advertising , but Mr.Hans , do you believe in it yourself ?
Why would God , to whom we have attributed omniscience and omnipresence and omnipotency spend his time writing fairy tales for each and every person ,porpoise or a protozoa that was born and is to be born into this earth.Is writing our life stories a Big Ego -Trip for God ?
(Oh God forgive me for affronting your all-pervading glory)
Fairy tales are true not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that they can be slain.
G.K.Chesterfield.
Mr.Chesterfield, you are an intellectual behemoth.There is no dispute over this widely held opinion.
But surely , you did not just say that Fairy Tales are true because dragons can be slain , DID YOU ?
One must ponder.
Do dragons exist in the realm of reality ?
Or for that matter do demons or gods cohabit us ? Or are they constructs of our minds , a salve to soothe and smooth away the harsh realities of the world ?
Are hell and heaven the same place ?
Do we have a soul ?
Do Gods die every time they are forgotten ?
And Finally...
Are fairy tales real ?
NO, but they do exist and exert an influence over all of us.
Reality is invisible .
All we are left clutching at are, perceptions, individual and global.

hmmph! someone trying to take away out little distractions? even tired old sages need those little distractions once in a while. they watch cartoons. and nobody ever believed in them. ask the little kids, they also know these are entertainment only!
ReplyDeletenext thing you know, they're going to issue a rating and a warning for every fairy tale published!!
I'm glad that you are sane enough not to believe in the make-believe...
ReplyDeleteBut I do know some people , who are waiting for santa to come and release them from their misery.
The greatest danger comes wehn one believes in his own lies...
people over here are spending millions on the "Easter Bunny".. sigh...
ReplyDeletei loved fairy tales, fave includes the little match girl, pied piper and the little mermaid.
ReplyDeletethe little match girl froze to death into her grandma's embrace.
pied piper leads the children forever away from their parents.
the little mermaid dissolve into water bubbles for her love.
fairy tales are so disturbing.
fairy tales were really gruesome and violent. it's supposed to scare the children into behaving. all the original ones (unedited by the monster that is Disney) are bloody.
ReplyDeletedisney bombs man.
ReplyDeletefairytales are not true but are there to enjoy reading and entertaining children and adults alike without causing any harm.
ReplyDeleteDisney always sugar coats everything.
ReplyDeleteIn the imaginary world of disney , everone is beautiful , good people are eternally good and bad people are eternally bad.The disney world is divided neatly into Black and white with no greys at all.
But real life , real life is an ocean of grey asphalt.
Real life can never be a fairy tale !
Some fairy tales do resemble a bit of real life. It's nice to have fairy tales to relax with and if people are as cute as the fairy tales won't real life be more fun?
