Happy Ending

A traditional definition of a happy ending

Every story has its own ending. It’s up to us to
decide if it’s a happy ending or not.

A happy ending is when the main protagonist

becomes successful in what they do, everything
goes according to his or her will, and they live a life

without any difficulties. This is the textbook

definition of a happy ending, an ending we all
Ludfin Morais hoped to have.

2021-25 ece But right now, do any of us believe in a happy

ending, or is there even a happy ending...?

The answer is, yes, happy endings do exist, but they might not be similar to
their textbook definition. Life is a book with unlimited chapters. As we move

through each chapter, we are bombarded with a lot of twists and turns, some

of which make us happy and some of which leave us completely

disappointed.
In most movies and books, we see the

story end with a happy ending, but if we
take a deeper dive into it, we realise

whether it's truly the end of the story or

just a chapter. Life is a rollercoaster with

many ups and downs. You cannot have
only happy moments. Remember, there is

joy and also sorrow; there is comfort and

also pain; and there is truth and also a lie.
It almost seems as if all of them are

interconnected somehow. You can’t have

one without the other. It’s like tossing a

coin. You cannot have the same result
every time.
