And we are merely players
Performers and portrayers
Each another's audience
Outside the gilded cage... I find it so fascinating to be surrounded by people and yet be absolutely alone. All those who sit around me have no idea that I am writing about them as they chat with those they are here with or those who they are conversing with upon their hand-held electronic devices. And I sit and I watch and I learn – I am a stalker of mankind and no court can stop me from doing all that gives me enjoyment, a Peeping Tom of all that this life has to offer...
I will discover what your favorite sports team is or what type of music you enjoy or what causes you find important or how you feel about yourself and the amount of pride you take in your personal appearance. I will quickly discover if you are a native or if you have come to these parts from a land faraway. I may even find out what types of books or magazines you enjoy reading or what type of beverage you want to drink. And all this information is given to me freely whether you know it or not...
And the masses will never question my motivation nor will they ask to be removed from thoughts for I do as I please in this theater of the absurd...
And that is what this life is after all, theater on a grand scale and we all must play the roles we have been assigned even if we thought we could have played a much better Romeo or Juliette than the popular person who eventually was given that part. And much as Lear we scream into the advancing storm though we fully realize that this action is in vein and that no one will hear our screams. And though we wish that we had been cast into a musical we find ourselves starring in a Greek Tragedy. And such is to be expected for those who do not make it through this life on the casting couch of the infinite...
And all the writers want us to say lines that are so out of character for our parts. And the director's vision of the play is far different than the picture we have within our minds. And the critics will pick apart each and every imperfection in our performance. And the fans that we once had will not even remember what our name was...
And so from this drama I will take a bow though no one will notice nor will they care...
This is the Word of the AntiCrust...
Praise be ye who Read the Word for ye are Blessed amongst humans...
