Is there really a happily ever after ending like in a fairytale story?

This span of time, I am discussing with my friend in facebook about his status... it states that, "One big problem with Disney films is that there's always a happy ending, which sets up unrealistic expectations for kids. Sometimes, life just doesn't afford us such luxuries." I started the discussion stated, that every child must experience that kind of dream "a happy ending life". In able to dream high and set a goal to fulfill that dream... he utters, no they always said, "and they lived happily ever after", which means there are no point in their life that they will experience sadness?! and then he gave example like the bananas and the monkeys, which he really knew at first, that monkeys can't really lived in a banana tree.."brain washing" he ended... BUT for me, he really talks about the "happily ever after ending" statements that brainwash little children... its not really bad to believe in a happy ending, right? it depends on that kid on how HE/SHE will interpret it and also with the help and guide of their parent. There is really a good path to that happy ending fairytale like... IS THERE REALLY A HAPPILY EVER AFTER ENDING?
