Does Fairy exist?

[THF20]

Well... I was wondering there is all kind of fairy in lots of stories such as tree, tooth, snow, sun, spring...

So do they actually exist in a particular century, is it just a myth or imagination for some people?

What do u think? -unsure

[00hoangc]

hahha....erm...i'm guessing they dont exist? but to hell with that xD i'm positive they do >:] otherwise santa wouldnt be real either T____T and and, where does all the money come form under my pillow when i lose teeth ?? huh ? huh ?

[hiake]

I think it's just personification of so-called spirits of the world. Because pre-medival (I forgot the exact period, but it's quite ancient) time, people think that the world is ruled by Gods and spirits, so I guess fairies (or faeries) are a spin-off from that.

[jnetcube5]

i don't really think so.

[smallrinilady]

the only faiy that exist is the tooth fairy, and um, that's usually your parents

[veeh]

i doubt so

[fearless_fx]

a better question: does grammar exist? :P

[Knoctur_nal]

well isnt this an interesting topic...

[kosoke]

I think it some kind of being - fairy is just a name.

[Ecko]

well isnt this an interesting topic...

lol I'm is about as shocked as you are...

tree, snow, sun fairies... now isn't that interesting...

[THF20]

Yeh... there is all kind of them around different places.

[nyckeion]

hmmmmm wonder if there is a bathroom fairy

[sn1ff]

a better question: does grammar exist? :P

haha... i was gona say that

[Stephanie_Ng18]

I don't think they exist... its just some tales to get children to be good or to get them to do stuff I guess...

[tawthalin]

Never seen one.

[flyingpig]

No, it does not.

y not?
is it just because fairies just exist in children story ?

[AC0110]

No offence, if you say fairies exist... Then you might as well say Dragon exist and Santa exist... and whatever you want to think exist...

[popabbs]

fairies, ghosts, spirits... souls (as opposed to physical body of men)... do they exist ??

Folklores and mythology say they do exist. Ancient buddhist texts describes many other-worldly beings... e.g. Tien Lung Ba Bu ( 8 heavenly dragons... also the name of Jin Yung's famous wuxia novel).

It is also impotant to note that the singular most important teaching of mahayana buddhism is that nothing is real... everything that you know of with your sensory perceptions is nothing but like a dream... they are there as real as you can perceive, but there is no real substance to all phenomena as you know it.

More later... if there is interest in this topic.

[happychic]

As a kid i used to believe in them as most kids do but we grow up realising they aren't real. I think its a myth but its a nice thought of there being real fairies in this world.

I thought the 8 heavenly dragons (not the Jin Yung novel) is a scripture about 8 gods? I read and knew about Ashura and Yasha and Sumo, not sure if I spelt them right though.

And the non-reality aspect of being? The only thing I can say is that if I cannot believe in what I can or cannot see, there's no basis of human life. How do you know you are living (if fact you don't). And then it all goes down the metaphysics philosophy talk from this point onwards =_=b

And YES, interested.

For those who are interested in the "8 heavenly dragons" (myth no the novel) and can read Chinese, here is a good site for info: Clicky (http://www.greatchinese.com/buddha/buddha026.htm).

now.. you 2 just added a twist to this thread.. I was just laughing when I saw these 2 posts.. and the number of pages this thread has considering it started in 2006..

well isnt this an interesting topic...

lol I'm is about as shocked as you are...

tree, snow, sun fairies... now isn't that interesting...

[hiake]

^ Well, fairies are mythical creatures (supposed they DO exist and the "fairy tales" are indeed about their collective existence) aren't they? So it's only natural that the thread also steer towards the fantastical. :P

[Vinnie_boy]

Well where did the whole fairy thing start? What is the root of the word "fairy"?? I dont know if they are real or not cos i leave my teeth under my pillow but i dont get anything!! But it still doesnt mean they dont exist.

I think this question is just like asking do you think there are ghosts or do you think theres life outside earth

[hiake]

I guess the fairy thing starts, not unlike religions (pagan or otherwise), to explain something unexplainable. The tree grows and dies because a tree fairy (or lymph) lives and dies, the crops grows because of the love of the harvest goddess etc etc.

But whether at one point in time there's actually some kind of fairy exists is worth debating.

I still love mythical talk :D

[xiaojia]

^ haha.. I did that teeth thing b4.. hmm.. where did it go? can't remember now

But I do believe in the supernatural. I saw one b4.. and pretty certain it wasn't an illusion. Plus a really scary nightmare to come with it..

[hiake]

^ My skepticism come from the fact that I never experienced it =_=b Not that I wanted to have ghost-encountering experience per se...

But I get plenty of deja-vu though, but that was said to be a play of the mind... so not a supernatural experience.

[hardo azian]

i think fairies are entities/ animals that are yet to be discovered
people in the past couldn't explain it and so they named as a "fairy"

[xiaojia]

^haha.. sounds like a cool idea.. so when are we going to start our fairy hunt? I wanna be the first to discover the fairy species and name it after me!

[benjwang]

no. grow up. the only fairy u will see is the green one ;) if you don't know what the green fairy is then nvm.

[east17]

I think, they're exist if you're believe :) But IMHO, there are lots of strange thing that we can't see with our eyes but we can only feel it :)

[Boss Lady]

I belive in Fairies... I believe my Fairy is my other half. My better half, she's more mature, kind, and responsible. She automatically comes to my rescue when I need her, no questions asked...

[eggrollboy]

well isnt this an interesting topic...

Do fairies exist? The Artist Formerly Known as Prince?

LOL! I was gonna add to this but let me refrain from getting off-topic... -rolleyes

Do fairies exist? Not with certain religions. Usually the Pagan religions do believe in fairies, Also Celtic regions believe in them as well. They're mostly an ideal used in children's stories.

But if you're talking about actual physical entities then no....unless we're referring to Prince. -shock

[Vinnie_boy]

Maybe fairies existed but then went extinct just like the dinosaurs did.

[necronrised]

Fairy are created by people who nit an explaination for tinks tt dey cant reason out.
And i suppose to liven up a child's life.
so i wld say no.

[aznrice]

lets put it this way, whatever you believe in makes it exist for you

[chickenutbread]

haha. like santa, it's just for fun. no, i don't believe in fairies.

[prettymussel]

there was once long long ago, i was chatting with my classmate during class..

and my teacher suddenly burst out,
"THOSE 2 FAIRIES DOWN THE BACK, WILL YOU STOP HAVING YOUR PRIVATE LITTLE TEA PARTY AND PAY ATTENTION??"

ever since then, i believed fairies existed cos i was pretty sure my teacher wasnt refering to me.
:)

[shadow85]

well, it depends. if you think they exist then they do. just like santa clause. no one can argue with you something that cant be proved. unless you claim is contradicting.

[vliu86]

santa was actually a real person.....

Fairy.... not too sure.... must ask Mike Jackson....

erm.... is Jesus real?

was he a real person.....

[ch0ps7ix]

i think it was created when humans beings were still ignorent and someone saw some fireflys or something and tell someone who told someone else and over time a glowing bug turned into a sparking lil person with wings......(telephone effect)

[master_g]

the only faiy that exist is the tooth fairy, and um, that's usually your parents

moms play the tooth fairy and dads play father christmas.

fearless_fx,.............a better question: does grammar exist?

you forgot the capitol A, tut tut. and those who agreed but never notice, tut tut to you too.

im jus messin :)

[Puhee]

ahaha of course fairies don't exist... what are you 4 years old??

[prettymussel]

its always nice to have some fantasies..

i'd rather have a genie in a bottle to grant me wishes.

[hiake]

I don't know, last time I check I was WAY past 4 year old. It's one of those things that if you believe in it, it's true... like God. If you know what I mean.

Got to have faith.

[effxiikc]

i think they are just myths are lil stories to entertain kids

[hiake]

^ It seems to me that some of them entertain kids and adults alike... But I guess most of us grew too skeptical for such fantastical tales :P

[nyckeion]

of course there are fairies where do you think peter pan's tinkerbell came from LOL

[shiyi]

No.....

[Jamien]

Hmm... I can't say they exist but I can't totally agree they don't. There's no truth fact that proves they exist but there isn't any fact that says they don't either. Besides, if people become too realistic, they take all the magic out of life. ;)

[BabyRain]

^Magic out of life?
Hmm yeah... i know kids usually are disappointed when they find out Santa isn't real.

[phoenixgirl16]

i believe in Fairies just not tooth fairy, as for santa? i learnt through the hard way he wasnt real..='(

[Maverick]

[BabyRain]

Just some ingredients to brew for our Evil Wicked Stuffs.

[hiake]

The brides of Dracula... They are the crazy sexy women vampires who helps Dracula...

[BabyRain]

"This world is a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This country's a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge
This city's a vampire, she eats her kids
Let's hide the bodies under the bridge"

Cool song eh?

[hiake]

VERY cool. I need to meet that singer -lol

[BabyRain]
