I came across a rubber stamp at the used bookstore yesterday. It was a simple, familiar saying, but it has filled my head all day long.
I attend BurningMan ever year. This coming year's theme is "American Dream" - which until now has seemed a bit hollow. After finding the rubber stamp - it has taken on new meaning.
I'm now planning an art piece that will demonstrate how ironic this saying is in our world.
As an American - I think I am part of a huge number of people, who read the paper, listen to the news and are numbed by tragedies around the world and in our own neighborhoods - yet quickly recover and move on as if nothing really happened.
the stamp reads .... and they lived happily ever after.
Isn't that an American Dream (as in fallacy)-- that no matter what happens, there is always a happy ending?
