Pinocchio- I’ve always disliked this story .. more than that .. I hated it .. so much so that simply thinking about it fills me with anger , hate, disgust, contempt ... fear maybe ? all negative emotions.
All I remember about the story was that it was in some way gruesome. The idea of a person being carved out of wood with a sharp knife and being controlled by someone. I dislike cautionary tales anyway .. and this is no exception.
I seem to remember that his feet got burned .. ouch .. that hurt I felt so sorry for poor Pinocchio and the fact that his nose grew bigger. The patronising attitude that children face with authoritarian figures who THINK they know better!!! grrrrrr
I obviously need to explore this idea more .... it triggers me a lot. The puppet idea , being controlled by someone .. lack of freedom ...dancing to someone else’s tune .. being at someone’s mercy .... devilish ideas ... possession .. control...manipulation.....dogma ..... all that and more.

i´m agree with that, but... aren´t we always been manipulated by any other people? when are we real free? ...
Hi joysinruido and thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment :-)
Yes , we are sometimes manipulated by others.
Most of the time, I don't enjoy being manipulated by anyone. unless the outcome is a good one.
I can be very stubborn and set in my ways and thoughts and manipulation is sometimes the only answer.
I know that I manipulate my own thoughts too. The mind likes to manipulate.
" When are we really free ?"
this is an interesting question. We are free when we at peace with ourselves. Inner peace.
The FEELING of being FREE or INNER PEACE is available to us all the time, especially during meditation and always in the NOW.
Negative thoughts,fear , anxiety, worry, doubt, shame, anger , sadness .. all these get in the way .
I like this quote about freedom :
"Stone walls do not a prison make
nor iron bars a cage;
If I have freedom in my love
and in my soul am free,
Angels alone that soar above
enjoy such liberty. "
Richard Lovelace

Björne ... thanks for your comments.
"du avslutade posten med, lätt rätt rejält som ett förhållande mellan en person som är bissart kär och en annan som mestadels ser det som en kul grej. Har jag rätt eller fel? Vad tycker du? "
So , you are wondering if the end of this post can be compared to a relationship between someone who is madly in love and another who is toying with feelings ?
Interesting observation .. I can find that to a certain extent ... it could be seen that way.
For me it is more about being authentic ,true to myself , really living my truth and following my heart and soul but NOT being SEEN taken seriously by the people around me.
It's the frustration of knowing and feeling a certain reality and the outside world saying " NO .. you are wrong; this is how it is, we know better, we are wiser, you know nothing, what you think you know is wrong and meaningless "
THIS is what triggers me .. the fact that others do not see what I see. Can you see the frustration in this ?
Thanks again ... I am both happy and surprised that this topic has resonated with both you and joysinruido.
Namasté !
in the end, as daniel dale johnston says:true love will find you in the end
YES , and in the end you will know that YOU ARE the love that you seek.
" .......And in the end
The love you take
Is equal to the love you make. "

Thanks, luv !
