Pinocchio was a puppet that wanted to be a real boy.

All he had to do was be truthful and his wish would come true, but even then, he couldn't help but lie.

Doing the right thing is hard, maybe because lying is often easier than the truth.

And sometimes, it actually gets you what you want.

But at some point, like Pinocchio's nose, the lies just keep growing until it's hard to tell what's real

and what's not. 

And we can either live in that world of make believe, or face the truth and everything that comes with it.
