Why do people like stories? A chance to escape reality? Maybe. To read about people over-coming nearly impossible feats? Perhaps. But the main part of the story is the conflict. Humans, being the twisted race they are, enjoy watching a hero struggle time and time again, falling down and standing up, only to be pushed back down again. Always having their plans foiled by an antagonist, an enemy.
But what if the story didnt have a conflict? What if Wendy's parents had made it to the window in time, stopping her and her brothers from flying to Neverland? I'll tell you what would have happened; nothing. They would have been reprimanded and sent to bed, to awake the next morning thinking the flying boy looking for his shadow was all a dream.
And the hero that tries and fails over and over and over? What if there was no dragon guarding the damsel? No fire or tail to dodge? He simply had to go into a cave to rescue the princess, who was actually lost, not stolen away.
Stories would be incredibly boring. We would see no purpose in reading them. So, why must we find amusement in the torture of the the poor people who are pushed off the cliff at the end of a long, daring, high-speed chase?
Because its fun.

I love my brain. ^^
This is actually the intro of a RP on here that I came up with as I went along. All I knew was that I wanted Peter Pan, a dragon, and the last sentence to be in it....
And I got a 4 paragraph monologue.
