What does happily ever after look like to YOU?
I view happily ever after much as I view the concept of Heaven: obviously impossible and anyhow, BORING.
In the Disney animations, we never see a couple who is living happily ever after, do we? I like the adventure fantasies more: WHAT adventure comes NEXT! What would living happily ever after look like and does it look the same for everyone?
Me, I want to work and write forever and have friends. Maybe a partner though since women are supposed to want an older more experienced (and in romances rich) male to carry them off, that seems unlikely. Besides, I want a partner with mutual respect, a lot of fun and silliness and I am good with discussion and thinking and disagreeing.
And heaven... sit on some cloud in a gown and play the harp? At least hell would be interesting. Plus most people are there if any of the self-righteous I am saved religions are right, and anyhow I'd rather come back and keep working. Infinite happiness? Aren't all emotions part of us and part of the universe? Let us be whole.
