Just because life is hard, and always ends in a bad way, doesn't mean that all stories have to, even if that's what they tell us in school and in the New York Times Review. In fact, it's a good thing that stories are as different as we are, one from another. James Patterson
About This Quote

Life is hard and it often ends with a bad ending. If we’re lucky, we die before we get old. And if we’re less lucky, we live too long and end up alone. When we hear stories about people dying young or dying alone, is that really the story that they want to be told? For most of us, life is full of ups and downs.

We know that there are happy endings and sad endings. But we also know that it isn’t fair for someone to die young or alone if they might have had a chance at a happy ending. It’s like the old saying: “The road not taken leads to where you can’t go back and fix what you did wrong.”
