All The World's A Stage

All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely Players;
They have their Exits and their Entrances,
And one man in his time playes many parts�
-- Shakespeare, As You Like It


Good ol' Shakespeare makes lots of sense doesn't he?
Something for each of us to think about.

We are all acting in a huge play.
But this play has no script.
It is strictly an improvisation. We make up the lines and assume the different roles as we go along.
Some days we play the villain, others the lover.
Some days we play a character consumed by anger and fear.
Other days we are kind and considerate.

Well, think about it, isn't the whole world like a stage�
Which role will you want to play?
For one, you can't just say you'll stand in the sidelines and watch,
because that too is in itself a role.
You're playing the uninvolved.

Yet, if we want to make a difference in our immediate world,
and in the planet on which we live,
we have a responsibility to choose our roles carefully and with consciousness.

Let's all make this play, "Life on Earth" a joyous, light-hearted romance with Life and all its other members.
There may be a lot of muck to wade through and deal with at first as the other characters adjust to the new script, but, let's improvise.

You can do it.
One word, one thought, one action at a time.

So, what's your part?
