I still believe in happy endings.
I may be naïve. It wouldn’t be unusual. I was born in Canada
and I have lived in this country all of my life. We have a national expectation
that endings will happen happily. Customarily even sad stories have happy
endings in Canada. We acknowledge that people may have difficult beginnings or problematical
middle sections but we normally anticipate a compellingly happy ending.
One would think that a happy ending is not that difficult to
agree upon. How confusing can the definition for a happy ending be?
