There was a man who made two puppets. One puppet he made to scare the crowd and cause them to fear. The other puppet he made to look kind and cause people to laugh and love the man who made him.
One day the puppets came to life.
The good puppet asked the man why he made him and the man said "Cause I love you and I will use you to make the people love me''.
The bad puppet asked the man the same question. The man said ''Cause I need you to be bad so I can make sure the crowd knows I love them''.
The puppet said ''We serve the same purpose''?
The man replied ''Yes''.
The puppet then said ''Why can;t we both be good''?
The man said ''Cause I am the man who created you and you must serve your purpose. And furthermore, because you are a bad puppet that I created, you will be burned when you are no longer needed''.
Confused the puppet asked of the man ''Then make me good so I will not be burned''.
The man said ''Does not matter if you want to be good or not, you will be destroyed''.
From then on out the puppet sought favor with the man, but the man would not listen to the puppet.
The good puppet confused by this as well asked the man ''Whom do you love, me or the the bad puppet''?
Man replied ''Both of you''.
The good puppet then asked ''Why destroy the bad puppet whom YOU made to be bad and yet desires to be good to serve the same purpose''?
The man did not answer the good puppet even after several times being asked this.
Eventually the good puppet became confused with no answer and lost trust in the man who created him because he never understood why the man could not have created both of them to serve in love, when through no choice of their own they NEITHER had the choice to show love.
So both lived out their lives.. One eventually to be burned through no fault of it's own and the other to be saved through no favor of it's own. Neither having ANY choice, they never understood what love was.
Both resolved to be forced to act out the will of the man who made them. Both realizing they were just puppets all along with strings that were never removed. Never realizing why they were brought to life to begin with.
Never understanding love at all.
