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?
