And they all lived happily after.

Why am I a sucker for the happy ending? I think I've come up with some sort of answer for this. I like the happy ending because everything ends up alright in the end. It harkens to the bigger story being told. Yes things are going to be bad, and things will be dark, but they get better, they work out in the end. So I'll say it I like the chick flicks where the guy and girl make it in the end. I like the stories where the hero wins against all odds. I like to see that beacon of hope in an otherwise hopeless world that things are going to not only be alright, but they're going to be great!
