The world is a funny place

Sometimes all we can do is laugh

We are all actors putting on faces for the roles we play

At times we are parents and teachers

At others we are siblings and friends

These masks are necessary – do not throw them away

The danger lies in forgetting what lies beneath

Do not identify true self with false mask

But if you see the difference

and know who you truly are

Then face ‘negative’ situations

as an actor casted in Shakespearean plays

In detachment bring your character to life

Let your soul inspire your performance

and watch as the stress of the moment fades away

Realize this truth

and you will be well on your way
