happy endings

I am currently in the midst of studying semiconductors and how free valence electrons are created. It is fascinating till a point( because i dont like the mathematical derivations and graphs coming in after that) where their kinetic energy helps them create and break bonds and conduct electricity with free flow of electrons. And there is a happy ending to the process. What after that? The purpose has been achieved and probably new electrons now flow freely to conduct electricity. Now my problem is with happy endings. Ideally i shouldn't relate this to poor electrons and their conduction but couldn't help resist the thought of happy endings. And pondering over it i actually feel weird at times about 'happy endings'. All is well that ends well. But after that the same process continues albeit in a different manner probably and the same intentions are achieved.

Generally happy endings in many situations leads to a block. It stops the thinking process or rather the process of exploring further. There are hundreds of situations to begin with but the classic one would be any hindi film blockbuster. Take Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham for that matter. The family separates and unites and we knew very well before the film begins that this would have happened. But post the film we walk out with pleasure carrying memories of one big happy family or a few of us would curse for having spent money on a silly film. Whatever we stop thinking. We stop thinking about options or any other alternatives. Not that it is necessary to think but for maniacs like me who love thinking randomly. Hindi Films is just a very crude example.

Looking at day to day situations where things end happily just stops ticking the brain. And again the happy endings are subjective. What may seem happy ending to you may not be a happy ending for someone else. Contrarily to world cinema where many filmmakers end their films 'abruptly' or 'without any conclusion' in fact leave a lot of scope for exploration and possibilities. Happy endings are in their place where the situation practically demands it and dosen't mean going out of the way to save the heroine when she is going to fall off the collapsing bridge. Yes at times it does stand for extreme ' optimism' and unrealistic situations.

Happy Endings are no harm. They are welcomed but i still don't understand about the fixation with it. Anything besides happy endings are more than welcomed because they show multiple layers of the same process and eventually lead to discoveries or happenings that could have the potential of stirring the universe.
