When the Pythons followed The Actor.. PART 2

There is something remarkable life. It can teach you anything, without much of effort. Pain and suffering is the integral part of life’s teaching process, so are joy and happiness.

They say this world is a stage and we are actors. We all have been assigned a role; we have a character to play.

More often than others an actor suffers from stage fears. He thinks that he has forgotten his lines, he has forgotten his part. Its just happens that he finds everything new and amusing.

Does this happen in real life also?
Of course, it does, and it happens more frequently than on a stage. Knowingly or unknowingly we try to digress from our duties.

Are not these duties the lines we are supposed to play in the play of life?
Sometimes we even deny recognizing the scene we are part of. We do not want to be present there, though our destiny has written the part in our life.
Are we not disobeying the director’s orders?

We wait for someone to remind us of the lines we have forgotten, to remind us of the part which we forgot. The director (God or something like it) will surely send some help.

But does he come on every call?
No, he won’t turn up until it’s the extreme. He will be a silent spectator until you are about to ruin his whole creation. Till that very moment, everything is in your end, you can make it better, and you can make it worse.

So why not play our parts beautifully and give God a break.

In the end the fact is that “the show must go on, and it should go on well


Some thoughts that came to my mid after watching the play. Some more I will cover in the concluding part of this series.

The only hitch in playing our parts is that communication with the director is tricky, impossible actually. if i dont like some of my lines, or want to add/subtract a dimension to/from my role i cant really talk it out with the director :P
