    Who ever feels like what there doing is an act and there just going aroundas an actor trying to seem normal when inside they know theve gone insane. The end of life seems alot better

    Yeah I do know what you mean. The way to get out of it though is to do what you want to do, which chances are, are not all that likely to be what the director wants you to do.

    yeah, ive felt like that many a times. i compare it to living in a cage, where you have so much potential to unleash but you cant find the right avenue to follow that allows you to set yourself free

    ive felt like that since my dad died. like whatever you do in life doesnt matter, and the only thing to look forward to is the end.

    that was good

    yes, we are all just actors of the stage of life. society is the director. so many people live their lives by the construct given by teh director, in fear of what would happen if they didnt follow what he says.

    but in a performance, the director cannot punnish you until the performance is over, or you leave the stage.

    while on stage, the aim of the piece of theatre is to please the audience, not to follow the director's orders. the role of a character is to follow the director. we are actors, and characters, just as we are people, and citizens.

    people who live outside of the bounds of the director are actors, but they are their own actors, and dont have to fit some sort of character. they are not 'citizens'.

    many people see the performance as the carrying out of the director's will, and so they live their life to its directions, in the belief that they are merely characters, and that if they fullfil their character, they will be rewarded.

    the people who just act..
    they have it harder in life, because they arent follwing the director's orders. they might have trouble connecting with the characters of the play. they dont act on the lines of the director.
    but,

    people who are characters, are limited to the devices of the director
    people who are improvisers, have no limits.

    people can be good actors, and fulfil a lot in their life, but in the end, if they follow the director on everythig they say, they are given safety, but a limit.

    here:
    bad actor + improvising = burnt out stoner
    bad actor + directed = lower-class battler
    good actor + directed = lots of money, lots of power, lots of what society prioritises
    good actor + improvigin = the greater humans

    When Life becomes a matter of just going through the motions, it's not the anticipation but the End's Finality.
