When the song “Wishes may bring problems such that you regret them. Better that, though, than to never get them” was sang I could relate to this statement so much. As well as everyone in this world. In life, we all have choices. Some of those choices/wishes come true and some of them do not. And should we be disappointed when they do not come true. As i think on the Musical and the wishes some of the actors had, such as; Rapunzel wanting to be free from the tower. She hoped and prayed everyday to get down from there, once she got her wish granted and she was free at last, she realized that she did not like what her wish had gave her. She experienced heartache, sadness and misery. But with experience the heartache of her wish, i feel like she experience life changing events until her death. If she would have just stayed up in the tower then she would have never experienced anything fun/exciting in her life before she was killed. Life is full of excitement and sorrows. And we have to experience both to enjoy life, to test how we will react. In her case with her wish not being was she had anticipated, the she was upset and sorrowful on every aspect of what she had in her life. We need to realize the regrets we feel when our wish brings problems, or pains etc; can bring experience and growth in our lives. Another character in the musical that experienced this was her mother, The Witch. Just like Rapunzel she wished for something great and once she had the wish, she felt the regret from her wish. Having super powers doesn't mean you have the whole world in your hands. This is what the witch realized after receiving her wish. In my own life i have experienced regret from my wishes/desires. In the moment thats all you can think about, and then when its granted or fulfilled you see the consequences or regrets. Some people that i know that experienced regret was within my own family. As my parents got married, it was everything they wished for. But as time went on, each one took different wishes and had them fulfilled and it led them to separating and then to a divorce. Both wanted a wish granted unto them and both received it and in the long run it in a since bit them in the butt that led to destroying their marriage. They then witnessed the regrets of their wishes. This song, I for sure agree with. We can't go through life having wishes but not having them granted. If we have a wish, i feel that we are going to do anything to receive that wish. I call that persistency. and when we are persistent we get whatever we want. Good or Bad, and with good we experience happiness. And when its bad we experience regret. Its better to experience and grow then to not grow and learn at all.As the Witch toward the end of the play sang,“You’re so nice. You’re not good, you’re not bad, you’re just nice. I’m not good, I’m not nice, I’m just right.” I thought long and hard on what she was meaning by this. What i came to in the end was, everyone has traits, or gifts. She is stating to the other actors when they are talking about what to do with the giant that they are nice. Only nice. And when i say only nice, I mean only nice. She feels like they are nice cause they kept talking how they couldn't give the boy to the giant, even though he was the one to upset the giant. They were friendly or NICE. If they were good then they would have fulfilled what they giant wanted them to do, give up the boy and then they would be safe, but they cared more about being nice then being good and fulfilling what they giant had wished for. The Witch said she was "Right", i feel like she stated that cause she assumed that every time she shared something that it was right. She was really stuck on herself and all she cared about was doing what she wanted, so therefore she would be right. Just like in our own lives, we have "nice" people, and "Right" people. In my opinion, the nice people get messed over with what they want to do or have done. and then the right people get whatever they wish for. I'm still trying to figure out how that is but it happens all the time. Out of being nice, good, and right. I fill like the "nice" is better, mainly cause Im the nice guy. Well i try to be most of the time. even though I don't get everything that i want like the right people, it makes me feel satisfied or pleased when I am the nice guy and everyone loves me for who i am and what I do for them. Its better to be nice then to be right in my opinion.
