    “Deeper meaning resides in the fairy tales told to me in my childhood than in the truth that is taught by life.”

      have anyone read “The missing piece”? Fuck that book. Made me cry in the midle of the store. I bought it and instead of listening to sad songs I read this book when I’m down. I just cry like a baby for 3 hours than I’m happy again. Fuck this book full of feelings

      I say there is no deeper meaning than the truth taught by life, and that life’s truth is most importantly learned and mastered, than navel gazing in fairy tales. I’m saying we should teach kids about taxes, rent and utility bills in middle school, before requiring them to learn hamlet. We have generations of adults now who thought the humanities were important, but can’t buy a house. Fairy tales are fun and entertaining, but being able to survive in a world seemingly set to use you up for whatever it can take from you, is far more valuable.
