Life as a Backward Fairytale.

I was just watching an episode of Jim Henson’s The Storyteller, when I realised that life is a sort of fairytale in reverse.

In fairytales, the lonely creature is transformed into a handsome young bloke courtesy of the love and dedication of a beautiful princess, gets shacked up with said princess, then lives happily ever after. In life, you start off being a handsome young bloke, get shacked up with the best you can find, fall out, get divorced, go off to live alone, grow old until you come to resemble a warty toad, then die.

Isn’t that interesting?
