Little Miss

Pediofobia : Who's afraid of dolls?
The dolls are absurd characters, a beauty made of bodies exasperated unreal and ethereal perfection.
Exactly what the media company is asking us to become: icons of beauty, timeless girls always neat and well dressed .
The race to a body without defects has long been a mass phenomenon.
The image of perfection is imposed tyrannical, try removing everything that makes Unique people. The desire to get closer to the ideal of beauty bears no joy but only anxiety and feelings of inadequacy . The world is filled with queens who question the mirror wishing only one answer: yes, you're the fairest of them all .. Regine protagonists of a never-ending struggle that sadistic and often leads to results both admirable and disturbing.
Little Miss is a distressing symbol of frantic quest for perfection. The innate purity seems to be intended to abandon the age of childhood. An effort to deceit, to the fiction of perfection .

327
Be aware, keep your thoughts. Lifted from the swamp

like an elephant sunk in mud.


328
If you meet a wise and virtuous companion,
share with him the way
joy and awareness,
overcoming every obstacle.


329
But if you do not find such a companion, rather
walks alone,
like a king who has renounced his kingdom
or as an elephant in the forest.


330
It 'better to live alone or in company
unaware of.
Walk alone, pure and desireless,
like an elephant in the forest.


331
Happiness is to have friends when you need it,
happiness is to share the joy, happiness is
well lived at the time of death,
happiness is to transcend suffering.
