reality bites
i've always wondered what happens after a movie. does meg ryan and tom hanks live 'happily ever after' after the whole empire state building escapade? has the media disillusioned us into thinking that it's possible? that we can fall madly in love and live a fairy tale ending. when people go through tough times the common response would be 'don't worry...things will pick up'. when it's got something to do with relationships and love then there would be the 'you'll find someone else...there are many fishes in the sea...trees in the jungle...ants in the colony' type responses. is there really light at the end of the tunnel or are we just programmed to believe that there is hope?hope is what keeps us alive. hope that we'll earn that million dollars by the time we're 30. that we'll own that mansion in the hills and drive that car we've always dreamed of. that we'll fall madly in love and live happily ever after. we search for things to fulfill our needs...our wants...both emotional and physical in hopes that we'll eventually be happy. but when is it ever enough? we humans are greedy by nature. if we do eventually earn a million dollars by the time we're 30 we're probably going to say that it's not enough. we always want more than we need. and when we get it...someone else always has more. that got me to thinking....i the grass always greener on the other side?
