My reaccion to "the three little pigs"
Even thought "the three little pigs" is known as a story for children, it can give a good lesson about life.
I think the story of the little pigs is metaphorical and that each pig can represent different choices in life.
In the story, three little pigs left their mother's house to build their own homes.
The concept of "house" is a completely meaningful term. A house is ones refuge, habitat, nest; It is a place that is shared with loved ones. It is a magic place where ones identity can be discovered on each decorative item, furniture, colour, etc. So a house can be considered to be the reflection of someone's identity in a mirror.
The pigs have to build up their houses and for that they use different materials, such as straw, wood or brick, according to their preferences.
That is to say that, each pig takes a decision about what kind of house he wants to have in relation to the resources they used.
In our life resources can be education, traditions, experiences, money and time among others.
In the story those who build up their houses with wood and straw finished the work quicker that the one that choose a brick house.
But the two first ones suffered the wolf attack. It not only distroied their houses (identities) but also ate them all up.
Build it and rebuild it as many times it is necessary. make of yourself your ideal; make of yourself a solid comfortable place to live in. Make of each good decision, a brick for your home. so, invest in your identity. Build yourself to be happy!
