Just thinking of something that I heard once -
50% of marriages end in divorce
the other 50% ends in death
So,,,, really is there any such thing as a happy ending?

is it the events in our lives that determine happiness or, the viewpoint from which we perceive those events that enlivens states of joy and fulfillment... even in what appears to be negative or sad.
what is it that Kahlil says: "your joy is sorrow unmasked."

Divorce isn't an ending, its a new begining. My belief of death is the same, just don't know what to expect afterwards but I still see it as a new begining and moving on to something different. I guess really there never is an ending to anything, just constant changing. So no, no such thing as a happy ending, but there is such a thing as a happy journey.

I feel like I am living my happy ending with the person that I plan to be with until the end. My history is full of really crummy things so I 'm really grateful for life right now.
You know, I hear those statistics and people toss the numbers about alot. I sometimes wonder if any of them are true or not.
At any rate, you have to work at a relationship and the more you put in it - and the more your partner puts in it - the better it is.

Well, yeah the other 50% ends in death, because they were happy with each other they lived their lives with the person they love doesn't that count as a happy ending. Well, some of that has to be cut down, because sometimes they murder each other which is not happy.

you have have been given a great threat. basically remember that genuine love would not advise Hollywood love. Hollywood love is often romantic, includes youthful, rich and ideal human beings, and lasts for a sturdy 2 hours. genuine love ability complicated artwork, compromise, scuffling with and speaking and sharing the artwork, no longer continually being romantic yet continually being there for the different, and maximum of all keen to iron out the topics. And genuine love lasts a life-time. do no longer provide up on it yet - now and back it takes your finished existence to look back and understand what a cutting-edge you have had for many of it.

Everyone has their own perspectives on what makes them happy. If you're really happy even for a short while, its already as good an ending as it gets.

Life does not exist in its beginnings and endings. It's that which is in between. So the happy ending is one that follows a happy in between. Sorry, that's as good as it gets.
As they say, happiness is not a fish you can catch.

Ive got an eternity with God in heaven. You might think death is the end, but I've got an eternal happy ending.

Ever see "It's a Beautiful Life"?
If you can accept (or better- come to love) absurdity, tragedy, brutality then yes, you win. But it's a Pyrrhic victory.

One can find the happiest ending of all within your own heart. In unity with God in unconditional love.
