Princess On A Glass Hill

Authors and psychologists are wrong, I distrust everything

they say, Alice thought, they say marry whom you love - and

I love so many things, food and rain and my garden in the

morning - and my dog - it should be, marry whom you trust

only after they passed many tests - this is so obvious, why

do people ignore the cautionary fairy tales where the hero

 

Has to complete tests, solve riddles, before winning the

princess - is it because women are not taught to realise

they are princesses all or mermaids small - as in The Little

Mermaid whose love was tested when her beloved Prince

chose another, when offered a chance to kill her or him

she refused and thus obtained a living soul? Why can’t

 

Women read and learn from Ariel? And reading about the

Princess sitting on a glass hill, the Prince has to ride up,

the hooves of his steed sliding, each day trying and she

throws down one golden apple to him every time, testing

his wisdom, resolve - this is genius, people should read

and heed these stories! Only when the aspiring lover has

 

Managed to overcome several challenges can a person

know whether an alliance will work, but people jump into

bed instead - with the belief misguided they are animals

and should behave as such - while wisdom would prevent

all this pain - did authors concoct the story of people as

beasts after watching their idiotic behaviour - or - 

 

Did they plant these idiotic ideas in people’s heads?
