Sometimes, a mammoth’s focus isn’t on wider society as much as it’s on winning the approval of a Puppet Master in your life. A Puppet Master is a person or group of people whose opinion matters so much to you that they’re essentially running your life. A Puppet Master is often a parent, or maybe your significant other, or sometimes an alpha member of your group of friends. A Puppet Master can be a person you look up to who you don’t know very well—maybe even a celebrity you’ve never met—or a group of people you hold in especially high regard.
有时候猛犸对外界的关注还不及你生命中一个傀儡师的赞美。傀儡师的想法完全支配了你的生活，他是父母，是对你来说重要的人，也可能是某个朋友，傀儡师是你尊敬却没见过的明星，是你心中地位高的那些人。
We crave the Puppet Master’s approval more than anyone’s, and we’re so horrified at the thought of upsetting the Puppet Master or feeling their nonacceptance or ridicule that we’ll do anything to avoid it. When we get to this toxic state in our relationship with a Puppet Master, that person’s presence hangs over our entire decision-making process and pulls the strings of our opinions and our moral voice.
我们最渴望傀儡师的赞美，害怕他不高兴，怕他的拒绝和嘲笑。当我们和傀儡师的关系达到这种中毒状态时候，他的存在笼罩着我们要做的一切决定之上，他阻挠我们的想法让我们难行正义之事。 Puppet Master
