TRIX - Is It Fruity Fun Cereal, Or Eternal Life?

            I have always hated the Trix cereal commercials. I always felt so bad for the poor rabbit. All he wanted was some cereal. And those nasty kids wouldn't let him have any, because he was different. Because he didn't fit their standards. I call it specieism. Then I started thinking about it, why anyone would want to eat Trix after seeing such a hateful commercial?
           There is a scripture in the New Testament, Matthew 18:4, that shed some light on my dilemma.  "Whosoever therefore shall ^ahumble himself as this little ^bchild, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven." As I sat there thinking about this scripture, I realized that the prejudice children preventing the Rabbit from eating the wonderful and delicious Trix, were not nasty little brats.
            Children are teachable, moldable, willing to do as they are told (most of the time). In order for each of us to be able to attain the Kingdom of Heaven, we need to submit to the will of the Lord. Or in other words, become a child. When we finally allow this to happen, we are then able to partake of the wonderful and delicious goodness.
            THEREFORE!!!! The Rabbit isn't being prohibited from having Trix. He literally can't eat it! His body is not prepared for the glory!!! He needs to humble himself, and become as a child. Hence, You silly Rabbit, Trix are for kids!!!!

"And they lived Happily Ever After..." RIIIIIIIIGHT

           "And they lived Happily Ever After..." Don't you wish that was really possible? We are surrounded with Fairytales, beginning at the time we are toddlers. We hear stories of handsome princes rescuing princesses. Of perfect matches consisting of talented, pencil-waist, outrageously gorgeous princesses, and square-jawed, buff, perfectly proportioned, not a hair out of place princes who would die for their woman within 5 seconds of meeting them. Now let's be honest, does that really happen? Surprisingly, YES!
           I'm not crazy, I promise.

           Now, we may not all look like a Disney princess (I definitely don't), and not every guy looks like a Greek God. The point is the story line. Mind you, I doubt I'm going to find my true love while I'm singing and dancing alone in a forest (although I tend to do that on occasion). Then discover mid- graceful leap that there is a ridiculously good-looking man watching me... but maybe that's only because I would be completely creeped out. ANYWAYS, it doesn't necessarily happen like that. But you can meet someone. You may not have to be rescued from a fire-breathing dragon, an evil step-mother (that seems to always be the case), a lady who's a little too obsessed with your hair, or from anything at all. The poor soul who finds me will have to rescue me from a Dad who likes to randomly attack people with a wooden spoon... Don't ask. Instead, you both get to defeat the cruel battle of the dating period. Dun-Dun-DUN!!!! Eventually, you get to live the Happily Ever After.

Look at that stomach!!!

           However, Happily Ever After does not mean that everyday is going to be a blissful walk in the clouds. The reason fairytales stop at Happily Ever After is so that kids don't end up crying because they can't figure out why Prince Charming is balding and has a beer belly. Suddenly those tights of his more frightening than sexy. Or maybe because after 6 kids, Ariel suddenly doesn't look so great in a shell bikini. Things change, and trials happen. Cinderella loses her cool and goes into hysterics because Prince what's-his-name can't put down the toilet seat. Consequently, she's fallen in one too many times. Prince Erik likes to drink out of the milk carton. Princess Jasmine doesn't like to shave her legs anymore. Pocahontas became addicted to plastic surgery.

           What ever the case may be, it's not something kids really want to be watching. Hence the Happily Ever After. Knowing that, now you realize that Happily Ever After is achievable. In fact, most people have found it. There will be bad days, but we are supposed to hold tight and work them out. That's how we know we have found our own Happily Ever After. It's when we realize that working out our problems and differences is more important than the problem themselves.
            This is not meant to say that there are not exceptions. If you are in an abusive relationship, GET OUT.

Caught in the act!
