“The problem with happy endings is that they’re either not really happy, or not really endings, you know? In real life, some things get better and some things get worse. And then eventually you die.” – John Green

Happy endings might have fooled you to favor the terms. But we tend to forget that the ending of all of us is death which is not what we really want, ironically. So I don’t think we should wish for a happy ending of our life; however, we should wish for the best moment we are living in. It is inevitably true that life consists of both ups and downs, which sometimes things get better, and sometimes they get worse. The question is what we should be doing within these situations. 

I would say if good things happen, let’s celebrate and enjoy it. For example, you had applied for a job, and then you were called for an interview. After the interview, the company decided to offer you the position you’d applied for with a great salary, so for this amazing to have occurred, you should tell your family, friends and lovers, and throw a big party together. Sometimes, this moment might never return the second time in your life, who knows?

On the other hand, when you face obstacles in life which bring you down, you should accept and learn from your mistakes. Why do you have to welcome the problems? It’s because they have already existed in your life. You can’t go back in time in order to change what happened, can you? So you don’t have choice, but undertake them. In addition to this acceptance, you should carefully investigate the root causes of your mistakes and thoroughly learn from them, so that you can avoid their repetition in the future.

Unless you really want to die, I don’t think life has a happy ending because death is our ending, and it tears us apart from people whom we love and things that we own. Nobody wants to lose those parts of us even though we really know that we will one day. To me, there is no perfect life in the universe because life is full of countless perfect imperfections; thus, I have never thought that I will be able to possess a so-called perfect life or a happy ending of it. That’s why I always live my life for the moment.
