Do You Always Listen to Your Conscience?
Life itself is challenging to navigate. That’s why we’re given tools to survive and thrive in life. Some of these tools include our talents, passions, morals, and of course, our conscience as well.
However, it’s not so easy to always choose to do the right thing, as we can see from Pinocchio. Because of this, the Blue Fairy appointed Jiminy Cricket as his guide—someone that will help the young puppet differentiate between what is right and what is wrong. Though he’s not the main character, his role is essential in building Pinocchio’s personality and traits.
One of the main lessons Jiminy Cricket tried to impart is the importance of one’s conscience. Through the movie, we’re given a glimpse of different scenarios that’ll happen if we fail to listen to our guiding inner voice. After all, destructive behaviors and doing wrong will always lead us toward peril and misfortune.
Our conscience serves as the light that guides us away from the darkness of life. So, let us learn from Jiminy Cricket and his quotes and change our bad habits into good ones!
