So many stories start with a suffering hero who, at the end of his/her journey, is rewarded with your typical, fairytale happy ending. Why do we gravitate to these stories so much? Are they realistic? More importantly, what can we learn from them? We discuss the classic tale of Cinderella and the story of Joseph to find out.
