The stage

A human being is always on the stage performing.

The day he realised that he was a human being, he put on his costume, got on stage and has been performing ever since.

From the moment he wakes to the time he goes to sleep, its lights, camera, action. Even in his dreams, he is performing.

He will not leave the stage until the day he dies.

At work, his interactions with his bosses, colleagues and customers are a performance.

At home, he is on stage with his spouse and children.

In social circles, he is trying to live up to the persona he has created.

Everywhere he goes, there’s an audience.

And what is the audience?

His mind.

Life is life
