Is it really
possible, as it was in Cinderella’s case, to go from “rags to riches?” Well of
course it’s possible, but
unfortunately not with the help of something as convenient as a Fairy
Godmother. In the real world, we ourselves, in a sense, have to take on that
role and actually fight in order to get there. Our kindness won’t help us but
rather our will power.
Cinderella was
pretty darn lucky to receive as much help as she did from her Godmother and
gang of furry and feathered friends. For, if it hadn’t been for them, she never
would have made it to the kingdom’s royal ball at all, and therefore never meet
her true love. When we read her story as kids, we find ourselves cheering her
on, praying that she get a happy ending. Now, though we still side with her, we
find ourselves already assuming that she does and sometimes even become quite
jealous. Why can’t our lives be that simple?! As kids, we believed in the magic
that aided our hero, but as we grew older, we came to discover that the story
of Cinderella is extremely unrealistic. But is it…?
Perhaps we take
the word magic a little too
seriously. As I said before, it is most certainly possible for one to go from
the bottom to the top, but that magic we wish would occur is actually something
we produce ourselves.
