Could you live happily ever after?
What if your reality became magical? If you woke up one morning to find that the world as you know it was twisted into a magical-reality-like mesh of the physical and the fantastical, do you think your existence would be more fun, difficult, interesting, unbelievable, scary? Can you use past works to emphasize how you would feel? For example, do you think life would be more vengeful if you could cook powers into meals like Tita in Like Water for Chocolate?

Personally, I'd be terrified if magic were to all of a sudden appear into my life. It would feel like a dream that I could not ever wake up from. I've always wanted to have the power to change the way people think. Having someone to understand the way you perceive a certain situation might change the whole direction of a fight or argument. In a way it is realistic if one knew how to fully communicate with the other, but for a lot of people, this task is very difficult.
ReplyDeleteIf suddenly one day i woke up and I had magic in my life or if I had magical powers, first I would be scared but then i would think of all the fun things I could do. Probably after a while I would be bore of using magic, and would have to take more responsabilities for my actions.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I would think that is cool. I mean i would actually think it is interesting to live in a world with like magical aspects. I wouldn't really think that it would be scary, it would be fun. I mean when watching our past movies, I personally think it would be cool to talk to ghosts, like in the 6th sense. True, i would be scared out of my mind if i first see them walking around with like half a head or something, but after a while i would think it's cool. If my life were like Pan's Labyrinth, i think my life would be more exciting. I mean creating your own world where like a faun is talking to me, that would be exciting.
ReplyDeleteI think that it would be cool and interesting if one day I woke up and found out that I had special/magical powers. Like most people, I would probably be scared or shocked at first but after that I think that it'll be cool and fun to try out the new powers. It would be both cool and scary to be able to speak and interact with ghosts, like in the '6th Sense'. Or be able to heal people, like John in 'The Green Mile'.
ReplyDeleteI think that it would be interesting if we had some type of power or magic that we could control.
For me personally, I think it would depend on what the situation was like and how the magic affected everyday events in my life. If there was a tremendous change in how things were, I'd probably be terrified. If there were minor changes, I probably wouldn't notice, or would notice the changes slowly while subconsciously getting used to them. Using Pan's Labyrinth, I would be terrified because of all the unusual happenings and not so normal looking beings. I'd also probably lose trust in some people, not believing everything they said and considering their words with skepticism. For me, it all depends on the situation.
ReplyDeleteLife does throw you unexpected situations...some of which can bring you deep sadness, Perhaps it is worth investigating how we define happiness?
ReplyDeleteHappiness can mean different things to different people. For example, for one person, it may mean being in a relationship, whereas for someone else it may mean feeling you have the ability to handle whatever life throws at you. I don’t think there is a universal definition for happiness. I personally define happiness as being at peace with myself and those around me and being able to give and receive love unconditionally.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would need magical powers to fufill my needs. I see I can fufill my dream with reality friends family and hardwork. IT is something you dream as often as a youngster to have powers beyond human nature. I think Power relies within yourself is stronger than any magic. I would think it would be bittersweet to have magical powers.
ReplyDeleteI believe that you can not live happily. Even if I would to have magic, I would still have problems. "What comes great power, comes great responsibility" Even if I had magic, I would still have stress and problems.
