the world is indeed a stage, the difference being you are cast in dual, triple, quadraple roles instead of a single one, to make your play the equivalent of a international broadway standard.

are you the playwrighter, the director, the lead actor, supporting actor or backstage props manager, each of which are extremely crucial. unlike the literal theatrical world, you dont get assigned to jobs, you have the opportunity to pick out what you really wish to do, and who you want to work with.

but similiar to many other careers, you meet people from different backgrounds whose perspective differs greatly and conflicts begin to arise. so this makes living a little more real, but sometimes we can do without all the complications.

you learn how to adapt to the other actors' quirks and idioscyncrisies, you begin to respect that each individual has their own personal style of doing things. you eat humble pie when you realise that no show is a ever a hit without their co-stars.

and you teach yourself how to be a little bit more unconditional.

as we progress through the show, it is only then we begin to create the programme because we arent fortune tellers (cant decide if that's a good thing or not)and we cant rewrite or re-act a scene.

but with all these difficulties which can sometimes amount to a little too much for us to take, we learn a great lesson.

and that it is to truly savour the essence of life.
