Fairy tales

They were the model of the world. We, as little children, were imperfect, answering back, not doing the right things at the right time – but we tried and learnt and hoped that we’ll be able to be as perfect as adults are. They know what to do, they don’t lie, they let people leave the bus first before stuffing themselves in… As we grew older, though, we found out that people don’t follow the noble rules. Becoming the hero is hard. Acknowledging that other people are the bad guys is harder. And accepting that they aren’t black-and-white is the hardest.
