Once upon a time,
if you can...
imagine this yourself, there’s...
a beautiful teenage princess...
who’s very sad...
she won’t eat her food from the royal table at mealtimes,
and occasionally
she sneaks into the royal pantry through the window
and gorges herself
on very rich food and sweets,
but then she feels so sick she usually ends up being violently ill in the royal rest room.
Now going back several months earlier,
the princess notices a very handsome young nobleman
when she’s taking belly dancing lessons at the royal dance academy...
his name is Bulleem
here... he has... all the other girls... seduced…
under his spell,
including the teenage princess’ older sister.
Now Bulleem he has...
shown some interest in the beautiful teenage princess,
and her not quite as beautiful older sister becomes very jealous...
so she tells her beautiful younger sister a...
big fat lie...
saying
“listen sis,
I shouldn’t tell you this,
but your favorite handsome young man
has told me that...
everyone likes you...
except...
for the fact that you’re curvy”.
The beautiful princess is devastated...
and at first is almost grateful when she loses her appetite.
And that reminds me of a story...
about a clever little monkey...
who’s natural diet is fruit and berries…
and he finds himself...
roaming free in the streets of India...
and while he’s looking at his reflection in a window,
he notices a very attractive cooky jar
on the other side of the glass...
so he decides to sneak in through the slightly open window
and gorge himself on cookies...
now the plan...
sounds good...
until the little monkey finds he is trapped by his unnatural desires...
his hand holding a cooky
is too big to leave the cook jar...
and the cooky jar is too big to go out of the slightly open window...
the little monkey doesn’t want... to let go,
and of course the price is...
freedom...
and no way... does the little monkey want to... sacrifice his freedom,
but somehow
he can’t believe that he can’t have that cooky.
As some bright spark once said...
if you want to change...
the first step
is to let go of something.
Now as you listen to this story
you might wonder how...
it is... even...
possible for you to...
imagine that a beautiful teenage princess can...
fall under an evil spell...
based on a lie...
even if...
only temporarily...
and in fact...
the spell of a very handsome...
Bulleem
he has no...
trouble having so many...
girls seduced under his spell... and the... not...
quite as beautiful older sister
wasn’t the first to think of that idea...
and some older sisters... even...
go as far as hiring...
super skinny girls...
to pose with Bulleem here... and there...
and getting photos for glossy fashion magazines...
is a lie...
to convince their little sisters
that somebody actually said that...
everyone likes you... except
for the fact that you’re curvy.
Now I don’t know how easily...
the spell of Bulleem
here will be broken...
or how soon,
the spell of Bulleem here will be broken...
I suspect the truth...
right now
is a good place to start.
