I don't think I really mind the idea of being a puppet, either. It's never twinged at me, not in the million times that I've heard it lamented or threatened in fiction. It doesn't bother me.
Truth be told, I think it would be kind of nice, if I knew I was a puppet of something that was good and wise and wouldn't make mistakes. I wouldn't have to worry or anything. I could just relax and do what I was supposed to do, and know that I was accomplishing something good, probably even better than anything I'd come up with by myself. That would be a very relaxing, happy, easy, nice feeling. And if through being puppeted I could feel closer to that force that was so much better than myself, it would probably be a nicer feeling than anything I'd successfully seek out on my own time, anyway.
I guess people do get it, after all! Not that I really minded for my sake, but... I think it's healthy if people can just understand that higher things want the best for them, and let themselves be guided by that.
That's true! It's interesting... alchemists do pursue the concept. But I haven't heard many embracing the word. I wonder if it's only that they think they'll be misunderstood if they put it in terms that sound so negative to non-alchemists....
