The eternal conundrum of power and control. Is it the puppeteer who holds the strings, or is it the puppet who pulls the strings?
Our benevolent overlord, the one who pulls the strings from behind the scenes.
Our unwitting accomplice, the one who dances to the tune of the strings.
But wait, it's not that simple, is it?
Perhaps the lines between puppeteer and puppet are blurred, like the colors on a watercolor painting. Maybe they are one and the same, like the threads in a tapestry.
Or maybe, just maybe, they're both just pawns in a much larger game.
