When I die, I hope Peter Pan, my fairy Godmother, and the genie in the bottle are all there to take me back to the place where I can exist in my natural self...without guilt, responsibility, the need to achieve (for what?). I want a do over in a child's existence...and I would love to stay there...so I could actually LOVE and LIVE life.

Have you ever notice that they are global? That some are thousand of years old? Fairy tales were designed to help children psychologically accept the harsh reality of life: The jealous stepmother, the king who wants to marry his daughter, the husband who kills all his wives, the wolf who hangs out in the wood waiting to eat you. Each story has quite an amount of horror mixed into it that the hero/in is able to overcome. <br />I know quite a bit about fairy tales, I would collect them. I can tell you that those stories have different versions with the same message in every country in the world and in every languages. It is part of our "collective unconscious." In brief, fairy tales were made to help the children grow up.<br />MGPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15970047895551920742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7838991187172264013.post-60763664691281531532013-07-31T18:47:29.309-07:002013-07-31T18:47:29.309-07:00Yes, fairy tales and Princess stories do not help ...Yes, fairy tales and Princess stories do not help kids grow up to deal with real life. I am trying to get across to my kids that all of those "things"; accolades, fancy cars, big houses, don't define who they are as individuals. At the level of our soul we are so much more. Our time spent in this earthly dimension is but a blip in our journeys to reach our greatest good. The Golden Rule is the way to go along with some brilliance from Buddha about attachment and desire. Time will tell our two kids take from these lessons. I do not envy you as i recall the transition phase to adulthood to be the most difficult years ever.
