The prince rescued the hapless maiden from the monster towering over her. He bravely jumped onto the neck of the beast and then managed to pierce its eyes with his flashing sword. The monster grimaced, the courageous prince slit his throat and with an almighty thud the monster fell to the ground. Overjoyed and relieved, the young girl embraced the fearless prince, holding him tightly. There was certainly amazing love felt between the two of them. Then soon after they were married and lived happily ever after.
The closest you will come to a situation of killing a dragon is possibly in a video game. Or perhaps it is the princess slaying the monster standing tall over the hapless lad. Whatever the situation, there should be no competition with fantasy. Yet here we are. Lives based on fantasy and hoping for “living happily ever after” is a trap of which a few, rather few, are even aware. Being bombarded with millions of adverts, the binge watching of soapies and other fictional movies and series, has deluded many a mind, both male and female. There has been a systematic condition of people, from childhood, while teenagers and adolescents are likely the most susceptible groups. For most, the life skills learnt are not ideal life skills. Marriage, romance and relationships are not fairy tales. There are so many factors that are important in marriage, but the handbook is hardly read. Of course, you want to remember your wedding day. It involves much pomp and splendour. But as hard as you worked on getting to that one day in your life, the rest of your life needs work and effort too. How you wish the happiness and joy of that one day abide with you always. Well, it might, but for the most part it is but a feint memory. More planning is required for the actual life beyond that more awesome and high-spirited day called your wedding. Marriage is not a fantasy, but you can certainly be the model couple by being real. Learning, growing and developing as individuals and as a couple. Then there is parenthood too.
Life is not a fantasy and no amount of exposure to fantasy will improve your life. Love might feel like a fantasy, and it will be a fantasy unless you make it and keep it real. Love does not magically appear, but love will improve your life. You have to tend to love, not occasionally, but constantly. The sun does not rise once a year, but daily.
