Why do most people make important decisions based on a fairytale?

because they received not the love of the truth  that they might be saved and for this cause God shall send them strong delusion that they should believe a lie. 11 Thessalonians 2:10-11

LOVE and HAPPINESS are most important in life.\n\nMoney and power can beget each other though:\nWith lots of money comes power\nWith lots of power you can probably easily amass money.\nPower is basically money because it can "buy" a lot of followers and possessions.

All things being equal, any decision is best made by logic since logical decisions almost always reflect reality. Making decisions by "morals" is just another way of saying "making decisions based on ideology." Some ideological decisions work, but trying to decide everything within the limits that every ideology has will often lead to greater problems. \n\nA good example from my own life is my stance on abortion. I intensely dislike abortion, perhaps because I have 5 children and 8 granchildren. But from a logical and realistic standpoint, there is no other option than to place the decision to have an abortion where it belongs: with those who get pregnant. Forcing a pregnant person to bear to term a baby she doesn't want is, IMHO, just plain stupid. It's an incorrect application of ideology.

Your heart is more important.You should always remain true to yourself no matter what others think.But if your heart leads you to what you want than you got lucky.

The story of Adam and Eve is a fairy tale.

I think mainly because Disney caters to their audience and what generates money.  Happily ever after is what people seem to expect, so Disney will manipulate a storyline to accomidate.

You never really know if you are making the right decision-just use ur common sense and follow ur heart and always be honest with urself-there will be times where life will throw a curve ball and believe me they can come out of no where but just believe in urself...

It's a 50/50 situation. Sometimes I make decisions, sometimes my boyfriend and soulmate Tony does. But we always help each other when we're in the process. We talk things over and come to a conclusion. Otherwise, we will always think about each other and the consequences and such before making a decision if the other isn't there to discuss the decision with. We love each other so we compromise or come to a conclusion.

A lot of the reason that it is so well thought of is because it has become the basis for so many love stories.  Many current films, books, etc carry the themes from Romeo and Juliet\n\nExamples:  The Notebook, Brokeback Mountain

Terrible things are happening everywhere. I just appreciate and cherish every moment  that i can and live the best that I can. I think that the media focuses too much on the terrible things that are happening rather than the good that is going on. There is so much of it going on. \n\nI do not live in Fairy Tale Land I do see the bad things happening. I realize that there is nothing I can do what happens happens, so I just live and appreciate everyday that goes by and I make the best of my life and I treat others kindly. It is all about attitude and acceptance. Things happen as they do and we cannot stop it from happening so we might as well buckle down and go with the flow. We cannot live in fear and we cannot live in sorrow. Life is still good no matter what it all depends on what we make of it.

You make choices and those choices have results. Some people believe the choices we make are according to your genetics and therefore you really don't make a choice. \n\nThe idea of a persons life being prewritten is as old as humankind. It's called genetic predisposition now but in other times, fate (English), kismet (Turks), wyrd (Vikings).\n\nI don't have an opinion but I do know some of the greatest minds in history believed in fate.

Actually most of them are not original ideas. Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Snow White, Aladin, The Little Mermaid. All of these where fairytales/folklore before Disney got to them.

I love Sleeping Beauty for its romanticism and happy ending. I find it super sweet that she fell in love with the prince not knowing she was engaged to him already from birth. The prince fell in love with her too thinking she was a pauper and was gonna leave a princess for her. Its so sweeettt. Everyone lives happily ever after :)

Kinda sounds like Zeus (as a swan) and Leda....\n\nOld fairytales die hard. : )\n\nI must say, I am quite glad you are asking all of these questions.  It is making people (well, at least SOME people) really think about their belief system.  Good for you. \n\nKeep them coming.

God has given everyone free will, and people can make choices. Most times than not, those choices will affect other people. He made the world to work a certain way, and he doesn't intercede every time someone makes a choice, because he gave you that choice.  And some people choose to hurt others. But we all answer for our actions, in one way or another-ALWAYS.

I think it depends on who you are and at what point of your life you're in. Kids rely on their parents, family and teachers to make decisions because they cannot all the time. Teenagers rely on their friends to make the best decisions and ask for their opinion, especially girls. Girls get influenced more than boys. In the corperate world, leaders rely on their employees, and in politics, leaders ask their ministers as well as their people. So really, everyone relies on someone at one point during their lives over easy or difficult decisions wheter it be what toy to buy, what dress to wear or whether to be involved in a war or not.
