Happy Endings

What’s your take on happy ending? As in movies, books, or stories in general. Are you for it or against? Or it doesn’t really matter. I’d like to know.

I am always leaning towards a happy ending. Whenever I know that the story is going to end in non-happy situation, I would stop and let myself make my own ending. It’s my head and I can do whatever I want, right?

I know that you may argue that sometimes we need a sad endings so that we can learn (from whatever mistakes the story tells us), but is it the only way? Can you make it a happy ending and still carry the same message?

Last night I watched a happy ending movie. Now, I am a happy camper. See. It’s a happy ending story.
