How To Cut The Strings
The Problem:
They want puppets, and warm sacks of poo. Think about these things.
The Puppet
When the puppet, doesn’t see the strings, and is happy; it isn’t really a person. It is nothing more than a puppet. And likely doesn’t know better. Because that is the only thing, it has ever known. The life of a puppet.
However, when the puppet, knows it's being manipulated; and sees the strings; knows how they are being controlled; yet doesn’t know why? This is the awakening. When the puppet starts to be aware of the system in place.
Stages
Other stages of the puppet, include either choosing to stay a puppet, and having complete surrender, and never being more than a puppet.
Or, choosing to cut the strings; and doing what it can, to free itself from the confines. Really the puppet that has become aware, can never really be happy. However, any thinking person; would seek to understand why they are being played like a puppet. They would have to ask: “What is best?”
The answer to that, may be a difficult one; for the puppet to answer. Again, the puppet is faced with either having to surrender, or free itself. And, most people choose to surrender. Because that is what is easiest.
It may be a difficult dance to perform. Being a puppet on a string, and being played for a fool; while simultaneously trying to free themselves from being a puppet. If they choose to free themselves, it may require more than most people are ready to perform.
Truth
Most people, that is to say; that most humans, are not capable of seeing the strings, or becoming aware they are being played like puppets. They neither know, or care. Because they are all very happy puppets. Even when they are played to be sad, miserable unhappy puppets; they are deep down still, just happy puppets.
And, really it is best, that the human race; remain nothing more than happy puppets. They will be happier in the long run; with being nothing more than puppets. That is their fate.
It makes for difficult living; for a real person who has freed themselves from the puppet masters strings; to function in a society, that is still not free, or aware. The other puppets, neither have their liberty, nor the freedom of thought.
And, for most humans; that is best that way. Because that is what they were meant to be. They will never be more than that. No matter, how you slice it; it is what they are.
What About Me?
I’m not human. And, hence; it is not easy to dance to this jig, in a world full of puppets, and not bump or crash into other people being played as such. It is best, to avoid them, in whole. Because the person that is free, seems like a crazy person to the puppets. The person that is free, doesn’t say what they expect to hear, or do what they expect them to do.
And, this causes all kinds of problems. With understanding, and with communication. Because the puppets don’t understand why the puppet isn’t playing their game anymore. And, maybe they are confused by such things. Maybe, they don’t understand it.
Some Show
Maybe the puppet master will wake up. And end the show. And restore the puppets that are broken and lame; and heal their wounds. Only for them, to be played again, in some other show. They never learn, or see the strings. And, it would be fruitless for them, to try and free themselves from such measures. They would get jerked around, far more than they want.
As for myself
There has to be someway to make life better. When the truth is stripped down to the bone; there are some problems with the game. One must be careful; to play by the rules. However, there is still some margin for fun, and games. If one enjoys; making the puppets; feel confused. If they knew the rivers that flow; in this crazy dream. Maybe someday; they will be real people. After being played for puppets long enough; they would never know the difference.
