The happily ever afters!

Just a month back came to know about the 'conscious uncoupling' of Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow! I had not just received a shock but a feeling of doom had filled my heart! 
Am I over exaggerating! No, being a die hard Coldplay and a Chris Martin fan, I always believed that what they both share in that decade long companionship is what I would want in life! 'The happily ever after'.
And the news made me think..do they actually exist!? Fairy tales have them right! But isn't 'fairy tale' just two fictional words put together! How can they be or mean anything real! 
Then why do we listen to all these? Why are we made to read them! Don't you think we would be better off without them? 
All these questions made me think that is when i settled on the answer. No! We need them, to learn early in life with good there is also a bit of bad in the world. How we should make the right choices in life! But in all this we misinterpret the end... 'The happily ever after'. It doesn't mean that now after a certain event life is only going to be happy and all sorrows have ended. But it means, that life is a journey and even if the story ends it would go on. And as it goes on, we should always be optimistic that whatever the turn of events that occur in the process, we are going to be happy! 
So happily every afters are not just a happy ending! They mean a happy and a hopeful journey! That journey we call LIFE! :)
