The Relentless Ally

"Life’s not fair... is it?" Opening line of Lion King. Who would've thought that the most innocent movie would have the most profound dialogue of all time! Yep, its true. There are no magical beginnings, smooth long rides or fairy-tale endings. I always thought that growing up wasn't a part of life, it was a choice. And you know what? Turns out I was right.

I was once the eternal optimist. There’s only a certain limit till when the drama is fun. And then what happens? Do we continue living in pretence for life? Sounds like a lot of hard work to go through. I’ve seen the stereotypes; we've all seen the stereotypes. The chick flicks can only get you so far along in life.

Cynical is not the word. Practical is. There’s a certain point when we think we've figured it all out. Actually that’s a lie. There are many points in life when we think that. Admit it! We thought that at 16, at 19, at 21... I don’t know when it stops. So maybe that is the mystery, maybe we’re never supposed to figure it out. We have all played the game. Is there ever a logical explanation as to why we do the same thing over and over again? Especially when we know how badly it ended the last time. The teeny tiny bit of excitement we get out of the first five minutes, and then all hell breaks loose.

And then there’s the only part of the whole ordeal that makes it ALL worth it. You want to crib, they let you. You want to cry, they hold you. You want to curse, they stir you up. You want them to say you were right, and they do. I guess in the end, life isn't supposed to be fair. But its okay as long you’re in the right company.
