All the World's a Stage

Very true. And we are mere actors performing to the tunes of the surroundings around us. One moment we exhibit charm, excitement, joy and the next moment melancholy surounds us.

The play changes as we change. Each day is a different story and our performances change regularly. As the earth shifts from one season to another, we shift from one mask to the other, each fitting us perfectly as the other. Masks of attachment, anger, appreciation, pleasure, hatred...We wear different attitudes, emotions, and feelings depending on the scenario we are in. There are no trials, no rehearsals. The journey is constant.

Our performances are lauded, our performances are criticized- all by fellow actors yearning to reach the epitome of success (being defined as the performance that brings maximum satisfaction).

None knows how long the journey continues for actors are replaced by others, fresh to the arena but perform with expertise.
