Fairytales

We love them because they will never happen.

Think about that for a moment. We tell kids fairytales all the time. Cinderella, Snow White, Rapunzel, what have you. But why do they entertain us so? It's because they're fantastical; they're fake. Even in a metaphorical sense, there will never be a Prince Charming for Cinderella. There won't even be a Fairy Godmother, a carriage, or a shoe. There will be a rag and a house. Enjoy.
