fairy tale no longer

as one step into the advanced and fast-paced society, one learns how to adapt to changes quickly and in the process picks up bad habits like scheming,back-stabbing,cheating,lying etc. can u imagine what happens when the entire globe starts plotting against each other?! perhaps by then the only survivors that will be left are those long neck tribal ppl...lol!

the main point isn't about tt...let's take a look at the relationships among ppl nowadays~ be it friendship,kinship,marriages,parenthood,courtship and so on. it has more or less evolve in a way. love at first sight no longer. now it's more of lust at first sight. i once saw on tv tt men can never talk about the partner he's going after without picturing her naked body.whereas women are still the same emotional and passionate fellows who can talk to her friends about the sweet guy who brought her flowers and held the door for her to enter first. the thing is have it been a recent issue or was it all along this way? i won't be surprised if it has been a problem from all the way back haha!

being a child, it is a time when you are sheltered from all the ugly facts out there. fairy tales and cartoons were the only source of exposure. or perhaps the prince charming was thinking 'woo how will the sex be with cinderella?' but being a children story writer, he shrugs the idea away and stuck to the innocent version...well who knows?

gradually as one grows, into elementary and high school they entered, this is when they experience the first taste of heart aches. there was no fairy tale's happily ever after endings. they cut their tender heart on the blade of love. some recovers while some continue bleeding for as long as they can remember. whatever the case, it left a scar that will never go away.

with that, they enter college and varsities. here it's where they are bare to more spices in life. one night stands and flings are just some everyday topic that a group of friends will discuss over lunch or during physical education lesson for example. maybe not so much locally but in western countries where ppl are more open about it. whatever the situation it have indefinitely become part of life.

slowly trust becomes a rare commodity in the market. a vicious cycle starts. why has things become this way?! is it external or internal? is it because of oversensitivity in each one that all this arises? what have become of the righteousness,sinlessness,stainlessness in everyone when they were a child? where did they all go to?

everyone grew up with the fairy tale...a princess in distress, a knight in shining armour comes to her rescue...

be it a hoax right from the start, i need my knight to restore my faith in love. tell me there is smth called happily-ever-after that truly belongs to the one and only you.

i'll be waiting...always waiting
