Fairytales are more than that...

Fairytales. That very word, brings us back instantly to our childhood memories, where we are told such magical stories of princesses and faeries to monsters and evil curses. But, that is just what most people see it as. Stories. Meant as silly imaginations. Meant only for childrens.
To me, fairytales are more than that. Each and every individual tale has a lesson to be learnt from. I look at each of them as a reminder.

Being brought up by fairytales, be it from the original books or from Disney itself, I have realized how they have made a huge impact in my lives, and possibly other lives as well. Fairytales does not only lift our imaginations and creativity to its highest point, but it also builds up our morals and personal character. When we were given these tales as a child, it acts as a base that we can refer to in regardance to many things! Be it learning to do good or how happy endings are possible. These tales shows us how doing good deeds is worth it, even if there are great challenges and obstacles we have to go through in our lives. Take Cinderella as an example. She continues being gentle and kind even though she has such evil step mother and sisters. In the end of all of her misery, she did get her happy ending.

All of this proves just how important these tales are. It gives us great understanding and withstand the pressures in our life.

As much as this generation is set towards 'realistic thinkings' as well as views, fairytale still does inspires artists and many others. From famous movies as Cinderella to fairytale fashion coutures.

One prime example I would like to introduce, is my all time favourite show, Once Upon A Time. This show is of adaptations of various different fairytales with their very own unique twist. Personally, I think this show is beautiful and brilliant. They center important morals while entertaining the audience. One thing I love about this show is that even the nastiest of villains are given a chance to redeem themselves and get their own happy endings, which I find it to be incredible. Things like this proves how fairytales are vital and how it actually can change our way of life.

   

Ending off, I'd like to reassert my statement of Fairytales are more than that. It indulges us in magic, imaginations, understanding, purity and so much more. But what I think is the main purpose of fairytales is that it gives us hope.

  Hope in a world where sufferings and challenges are met. 

Hope in this world when we feel like giving up. 

Hope in here when there's so little of it...

Fairytales would always be a part of me.

And I certainly do hope it would continue being passed down to the generations ahead, as it has for eras.

 For fairytales are definitely worth it.
