What
happened to Cinderella and the Prince after they got married? Did they really live
happily ever after? Were they always happy? I guess they quarreled and had
questions and insecurities in their relationship and life. They might even have
contemplated on getting a divorce. Probably Cinderella’s stepfamily still kept
bothering them.
What
I am saying is life continues. It does not stop for nobody. Life does not stop
at any point in time, happy or sad. It has its ups and downs, and this keeps on
repeatedly and indefinitely as life continues.
One
point: Murphy’s Law
Like
what I have just said, life has their ups and downs. That is always one thing
you can count on. I advice you to always prepare for the worst; don’t take life
for granted because you never know what will happen next.
Another
thing: What I always remember theology taught me is to see the world
differently, not just spirituality, and that evil exist not to make people
suffer, or label people or things as bad. Evil exists because good exists. Good
exists because evil exist. In other words there is no good without evil and
evil without good. Without evil, good cannot exist. Without evil there is no
good. I know I am going in circles and redundant. But I just want you to grasp
the idea that there is evil in the world so one could realize, see, and know
good. One would differentiate good from evil; create good to overcome the
undesirable, do good rather than bad. Now do you catch my drift?
So:
Despite Murphy’s Law, there is always a silver lining –a rainbow after the
rain, a new day after the dawn, and a relief and happiness after the pain. We
must remember not to linger on pain and sadness we feel in life, but look
forward to and feel the pleasures that life offers.
“Happy
Ever After” is just connotation that in life’s ups and downs Cinderella and her
Prince, and WE, choose to see the brighter side, be positive, be grateful, and
thrive in the hardships we encounter.
