Fairy tales are like that. One morning we wake up. We say: it was just a fairy tale ... We smile with ourselves. But basically you hardly smile. We know that fairy tales are the only truth of life. Fairy tales are like that. One Morning, We Wake Up And say, it was only a fairy tale ... We put a smile on our face But deep inside, this isn't what we feel like Doing. It's because we know full well that fairy tales Are the Only Truth in Life. {The English Translation is Lucrèce Riminiac's.}

Fairy tales often represent a profound reflection of our lives. There are moments when we awaken to the realization that what we have experienced might seem like just a dreamy tale. Despite putting on a smile as a facade, internally, we struggle with true feelings that may contradict our outward expression. This duality highlights the tension between our desires and the accepted reality.

The essence of fairy tales, however, lies in their deep connection to truth. They encapsulate the fundamental aspects of our existence, serving as reminders that what often appears fanciful can embody our innermost truths. Through these narratives, we connect with life's experiences, shaping our understanding of love, hope, and the human condition.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.

Books don't offer real escape, but they can stop a mind scratching itself raw.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective - it just means you're human.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there.
