It was supposed to be the end of the world today. And it wasn't...or isn't. Because it is still today, and it isn't the end. The rapture I heard so much about didn't happen.
But I'd like to think, for a moment, about endings.
I like some endings. Like a good cliff-hanger...a la Castle's season finale this year. Because then you have to anticipate what is coming next. I love anticipation.
I like the ending of HP. Because Rowling didn't try to drag the story out over the course of Harry's life. The arc of the story ended with Voldemort's demise. It's the natural, appropriate way to finish off a great tale.
I loved the ending of law school. No more finals...ever!
I loved it when the bar was OVER! No need to explain.
Oh, and the ending of Life of Pi because it's just unsettling and doesn't answer any of your questions but leaves it all open and ponderous. Sometimes you need something messy.
The last day of the school year was always good...a whole summer stretching out in front of you!
The ending of Inception. Sort of like Life of Pi...unsettling.
Oh there are lots of ways that endings can be good. And maybe even if the rapture had come and it was the end of the world, it would be alright. At least then my student loans would be forgiven!!!
