Shakespeare said, "All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players".
In this short sentence, many images have meanings. We do not remove the image from ourselves even when we are alone with ourselves because it is still part of the play.
Only after we have left the stage will we finally are able to take off the character's clothes, wash the makeup from our faces, and return to being who we really are.
We are all players of limited time playing in an endless play ...
So who are we really, and why should we stage? Who plays my role, and what will I be after I remove the character from myself?
These are questions that we all ask ourselves, and some of us even try to find answers.
It is not easy to find an answer at all. Sometimes it seems to us that we have found the meaning of this game but after a while everything we have based on crumbles. And again these eternal questions come back and do not let us sleep peacefully.
The meaning of the game is a great puzzle, and it is a good thing. If these answers were given to us easily, would there be any meaning to all this? Are not you angry when someone tells you what will happen next season or an episode of your favorite series?
We are never alone on stage. We share it with innumerable other players. The plot of our lives intersects with the plots of many other actors. Whether it is the people closest to us, or a stranger on the street whose eyes met for a fraction of a second. Every interaction we have with another person, even the smallest, is one of the ways in the journey of life.
Or in terms that we decided to use in this passage, the intersection of two plots.
Many people revolve around us in our daily lives. Some of them we love and enjoy spending time with, but we often have to stay with people we do not connect with. Whether it is at work, in line at the checkout, on busy public transportation, or even within the family. In case we met someone who did not like us on the bus or the line at the checkout, we had nothing to worry about. Soon our meeting will be over and it may never be again. But if this person is in a circle closer to us, it is not always possible to get away from him completely ...
Sometimes we are forced to stay with someone who is not pleasant to us at work or even at family events. It is not necessarily that this person did something bad to us. His behavior may be just annoying, but he has no bad intention. He might even like us. There may also be a completely opposite situation, that we like someone, but he tries to stay away from us. There are also people we would like to stay close to us, but they are forced to move away ...
The number of possible situations you can think of is the number of interactions with other people in our lives. That is, very large.
The first and most important thing to consider before we start to make an order in our relationships is, to remember that we are all actors, and every actor who is with us on the stage plays a very important role in the plot of our lives. Each teaches us a lesson about ourselves and life.
Yes ... even those we would prefer to keep away from. They teach us the lessons that are most important to us. People do not enter our circles randomly. every person who appears in our lives arrives just as we need him. A man who will support us will arrive as soon as we need it most.
A person who has an answer to our question will come and deliver it at the right moment for us to receive the answer.
A man who will hurt us will come as soon as life wants to remind us of that time we hurt someone else.
All this sounds pretty clear when it's written on the page. But life is much more complex than any book that has ever been written about, and all the more so for this short passage. Usually, we do not really know why another person has hurt us so much. Sometimes the reason is years away from the result, and as soon as we reap what we sowed, we no longer remember when, at all, we sowed it.
Sometimes a burglar breaks into the home of an honest man who has never touched anything that does not belong to him.
Sometimes one of the spouses in the family cheats, while the other one has been loyal to him all his life.
It may be that this person has long been around us, but has not played an important role. Life was waiting for the right moment for its role in our lives to get the real meaning. So it is not always possible to say that what is happening with us returns to us like a boomerang. You can not say that things just happen, for no reason. People are forced to leave us, and sometimes it hurts. But there is no other way. Everyone in this world has a role and a certain period of time in which he performs this role.
There will be situations when we ourselves decide that it's time to get away from a certain person, and that's fine too. If we came to this decision, there were justified reasons for this and time really came. There's nothing to worry about. If necessary, life will meet us again.
We must remember that every person we meet in our lives, whether we like it or not, plays a very important role. From every situation, we have something to learn. If we remember this, instead of being insulted and angry, we will improve and improve. Insults, anger, and hatred will bring us down. Everyone has to make the choice alone, how to relate to everything that happens with it ...
Every one of us we are all actors on the stage of life. Each of us plays an important role in the lives of the people around us ...
No matter what scenes we play, and what happens with us, let's not forget that life is a game. If we are aware of this, we enjoy this game much more.
