Being someone's puppet doesn't necessarily mean that you're a prisoner unable of escaping punishment, tied to
unbreakable strings binding you forever. A lot of the time we are other people's puppets without even realizing it,
enjoying our performance and applause so much that we are oblivious to the fact that we are being controlled. Held up by someone else and basing our identity in what our puppeteers deem to be acceptable.
We're afraid, sometimes terrified, to resist the tugging on our wires for even a minute in case we make a fool of ourselves
in front of other people and receive their negative judgement. And so, we go through our lives doing as we're told and
expected, and nothing more. It might be boring, monotonous, and probably doesn't even go along with what our beliefs
are, but we don't care. We care more about our puppeteers affirmation and the sense of false security that comes with it,
than we do about our own ideology.
The truth is simple:
Wake up.
A life spent pleasing other people isn't a life at all; it's a pointless desert wander.
We need to stop being lemmings that jump off of cliffs because someone says the word, and be like eagles instead, soaring through our journeys.
Take charge of your own life and do what you believe in.
Grow up, cut your strings and walk away.
