Beauty and the Beast


What is the type of spell that was thrown over us? What is the curse that turned us to what we are now? Did we do this to ourselves or were we enchanted by a fairy?! Where did the meanings of purity, love, trust, care, respect, justice and humanity go? Did they leave us? Or did we abandon them? Did they lose their hope in us? Or did we ignore and forget them? Life became very materialistic and we just followed… we followed without breaking to breath the clean air of the forgotten virtues, without stopping to re-think, to re-evaluate… Where are we heading now? Does this destination deserve the troubles we put ourselves in? Does it merit sacrificing every dear we have?
I wish we were living in a fairy world like the one of “Beauty and the Beast”… Can the remnants of the lost beauty change the beasts we became? Can it revive our dead hearts? Can we have its same ending?

It is not a spell nor a curse. It is life. We are not all beasts, we are not all the beauties but some of us are both. There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us. I remember a saying “No man chooses evil because it is evil, he only mistakes it for happiness, the good he seeks." But don't worry all that is necessary for evil to succeed is that good men do nothing. There will always be a lost beauty change the beasts we became.

This part is from the sound track of the beauty and the beast:

"Just a little change
Small, to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the Beast"

There's nothing wrong with this world.. what's wrong is within ourselves. We keep bugging ourselves about the beasts while beauties are everywhere, and actually increasing in size and numbers. The moment we stop thinking about what's going wrong, is the same we find everything just right for us.
