Fantasy Vs Reality

I am having too much of exposure to movies these days,despite the fact that i hardly have any free time (office,GRE,University Search,Household activities,social obligation,Leo Club,etc) but one thing i have learned very well is the Art of Time Management, and the number of movies that i manage to watch is the proof. Anyway, i was talking about movies...All the movies that i watched had one common thread: they all had a very very "Happy Ending"-the lovers get to "live happily ever after" or the villian is put in a life-term sentence or is killed. Wow,the perfect ending for anyone.But i was forced to contemplate how real are the stories??I have hardly seen Happy Endings in people's lives.The "good souls" in real life are the ones who suffer ultimately.This is,however,not to say that i advocate being a Nefarious person.No matter what,you should do things that are acceptable to your conscience.

Going back to movies,i was wondering Why is that happiness is so hard to find in the real life? Why is that people have to struggle so much to achieve something?Why is that we cant have that smile on our lips ALWAYS? It makes me frustrated at times because the HEROES in the movies get it with the blink of an eye but why is that we keep blinking eyes and nothing magical happens??Why is it that not every Cinderalla is saved by a godmother?

Of course it is disappointing but i also get answers at times.I think that had we got everything that easily,we would never know the value of getting something after a hard day's labor. Also,had we never overcome sadness,we could never know the value of happiness. So that we don't take things for granted,god has created so many stumbling blocks in our lives to help us keep grounded and teach us to value what we have and strive for more.

I do understand the reasons behind everything,but despite that i would want that little magic to happen in my life sometimes where i think of something and it just happens with the turn of a Magic Wand...

Till Next...waiting for that magic!!!

I also feel the same, however reality is different. Some people are so lucky that they get everything they desire, very easily. On the other hand, people work really very hard ending with no good results. Therefore, sometimes I also believe in luck, but still there is confusion. But, we shouldn't stop working...

I am also waiting for magic..

And I wish a good luck, hope you will come across your magic very soon..
