Why do we want to be believe?

I can't help but think as I read Cinderella, Little Red Riding hood and all the stories that go along with them, about how all the main characters are tricked or deceived. In the Story "Wolfland" the grandmother was tricked by her husband. He brought her beautiful fruit , and below the fruit he hid his whip, which started the lifetime of beating for her. The grandmother in turn deceives her granddaughter and has her drink a flower liqueur which will bring out the wolfe in her. The granddaughter knew something was suspect but she drank it anyways. Adam and Eve, Eve knew not to eat the fruit but the snake deceived her, where was her women intuition? Don't we all sense when something is wrong? Don't we know not to believe? It's stories like the Disney's version of Cinderella that lead us to believe that their are exceptions in life. We all so desperately want to have the fairy tell, we will listen to lies and let ourselves believe them because its what we want. That is what makes Disney's story so timeless. I much prefer the stories with the juicy facts and all the indecency's that happen, it makes it REAL, It makes even the most unbelievable stories believable. Pull the curtain from in front of my eyes, I want to KNOW the truth, and not be deceived.
