That's almost the story of the world today....isn't t? You rarely hear of the great couples who fall in love, marry, and die without all the drama because that in essence is "too boring". But just one flip of the switch on a remote control and your eyes and ears become over indulged with the stories of adultery, trysts, murder-suicides, etc because that is what sells.
I am pretty sure more often than not that there are many instances of a "Happy Ending" in this world. This part of the story puts me in the mind of another piece that we read in class "What We Talk About When We Talk About Love". If you recall in that story Mel was telling a story about an old couple who got hit by a drunk driver and were in really bad shape but managed to pull through evasive surgeries to save their lives. Then he proceeds to talk about how they went from critical to being in their own room but that still was not satisfactory to the husband and that he fell into a deep depression (even knowing his wife would survive). He revealed the reason of the husband being in that state because "he couldn't see her through his eye holes". Mel seemed floored by the fact as he states that "the man's heart was breaking because...he couldn't turn his (gd) head to see his (gd) wife". I honestly think that this is what kept that couple living for each other. Regardless of death at least you know that you knew the feeling of being happy and in love in your natural life. That is the true power behind a "Happy Ending".......enduring love.
I am not one to avoid the realities of this world that we live in but sometimes I need to detox from all the junk that is out there and know that DRAMA is not all there is to this life.
