"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players."

Shakespeare was a dramatist, he understood the fact that we all somehow feed from the drama we create in our life. Yes we all are actors. Our thoughts becomes actions and it's our actions that shape our life and of people around us.

Sometimes when I think of 'actors' I think 'fake' but the truth is we are acting constantly, if we don't than we are still, which maybe a more peaceful state of mind, but this is a place where change is inevitable and with change comes the drama. No wonder people who live 'simple life' always seem to be going nowhere and their life story sounds boring.

We get inspired by struggle and pain more, than just a simple and content life. Struggle and pain moves us and we love to be moved, when we move we come alive. Happiness touches us, we love the touch. But contentment can only we felt by the wisest of all, because it feels like nothing. And nothing is the hardest thing to digest.

I hear people whine and moan, they feel life is unfair and cruel but they are scared of dying, they know they sound stupid but they won't do anything about it. Why? Because we love the drama.
Sometimes a little drama is necessary it's a sign that things are changing. When we get uncomfortable that is when we start trying to find comfort, or we stay numb.  And numb is not the way to live.

Let me just say, I indulge in drama. It is fun. I sit and moan about how unfair life is. It makes me feel like a kid. But then I have to stop, too much indulgence is not good for mental health.

As an 'old soul' I know the the consequences of things and it is my responsibility to guide others. Sometimes I am laughed at, but it is a risk I am willing to take. I know when others are laughing, there is one person who can resonate with my words, hopefully they would hear me above all the laughter.

Yes, I still do drama just like when parents become child-like with their kid, because it's the best way to connect with the kid. They don't stop being parents and helping their child to grow, but it helps them to walk a mile in kiddie shoes. After all kiddie shoes are way more cuter and appealing than adults.

Drama is appealing. We Love it. We feed on it.

  1. True, life is a drama and we are all players assigned to play different roles. In this drama, we are given reasonable freedom to modify the script using our wisdom and our happiness lie in understanding our roles and playing it in tune with the main script.
