The Marionette: A World Of Hypocrisy

“Envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are various kinds of people living in our world. In our day-to-day activities, we meet different people: the good, the bad, the ugly...the list goes on. We shall take a vivid look on the obliviously common kinds, the humanoid--the marionette.

These people assume formless in the aspect of decision making. They are merely a duplicate of another man's decision--whether good or bad. They imitate another man's belief, personality, even mode of dressing. They simply console themselves saying things like, "She's my idol.", "I just love him"; unwittingly sabotaging their own future.

We are created on a purpose. The person a humanoid emulates actually serves his purpose. Why forsake yours, expend your resources trying to be like someone? There's nothing wrong with admiring people's qualities and even trying to seize them but the idea of not discovering oneself is what leads to being a hypocrite, living a fake life or controlled by anybody. People should motivate us, inspire us, teach and even mentor us but should never create a duplicity of themselves in us. We are all not the same. All fingers aren't equal yet they each distinctly serves a meaningful purpose.

Be authentic, be yourself. Associate with the wise and be wise. If the smartest way to become who you want is to be around those who are already the way you want, then it's not a mere do-as-I-do but the transformation of one's person. If your person is negative, why not work on yourself rather than being pulled with strings of honesty and truthfulness when it's glaring it's just for show? Think!

“The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson

Be genuine
Be wise
Be authentic &
Don't be a marionette.
