About the Item
A portrait of Pinocchio from Pinocchio, Disney, 1940
Are there any more recognizable stories about the difficulties that can accompany lying than that of Pinocchio? For the puppet-turned-boy, lying is the root of all hardship. He’s dishonest so, his nose grows. Chaos ensues. It’s that simple.
As soon as we realize that our noses don’t grow like Pinocchio’s, we appreciate that our lies aren’t always detectable. We can get away with lying if it’s handled carefully. We just have to determine what variables to control in any particular scenario. And that is a powerful insight.
