Tree Everyday Happy Endings

More From Jodi Picoult

My family doesn't do happy endings. we do sad endings or frustrating endings or no endings at all. we are hardwired to expect the next interruption or disappearance or broken promise.

And in real life endings aren't always neat, whether they're happy endings, or whether they're sad endings.

So often, we blame other people when, really, the problem is right down in here. i'm not happy. i don't know what's wrong. if i just had another job, i could be happy. if i just get married, i would be happy. well if i just wasn't married, i would be happy. well, if i just had some kids, i'll be happy. i'll be happy when these kids finally grow up and get out of here. if i had a bigger house, i would be happy. well, i got a big house. now if i just had a maid to clean, i'd be happy. well, now if i just had a maid i could get along with better, i'd be happy.

I hate endings. just detest them. beginnings are definitely the most exciting, middles are perplexing and endings are a disaster. … the temptation towards resolution, towards wrapping up the package, seems to me a terrible trap. why not be more honest with the moment? the most authentic endings are the ones which are already revolving towards another beginning. that’s genius.

There are no happy endings. endings are the saddest part, so just give me a happy middle and a very happy start.

And father said, “there are no happy endings.” “right!” cried iowa bob – an odd mixture of exuberance and stoicism in his cracked voice. “death is horrible, final, and frequently premature,” coach bob declared. “so what?” my father said. “right!” cried iowa bob. “that’s the point: so what?” thus the family maxim was that an unhappy ending did not undermine a rich and energetic life. this was based on the belief that there were no happy endings.

My father decided that he was such a admirer of ibn rushd's philosophy, thinking that he changed the family name to rushdie. i realized why my father was so interested in him, because he was really an incredibly modernizing voice inside our islamic culture.

We are not a nation, so much as a world; for unless we claim all the world for our sire, like melchisedec, we are without father or mother.

You don't have to deserve your mother's love. you have to deserve your father's.

My father came a couple of times, but he always blamed his hearing loss on my loud amplifiers. so he didn't come anymore, but i had his support.
