"All the World's a stage

and all the men and woman merely players . . . " (As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 7).

We make our appearance on this planet earth for but a brief moment in the annals of time. Shakespeare makes a good point. It can be helpful to imagine yourself on a stage at all times--the stage earth--playing the role of the character that you are. We might as well enjoy. Don't take life too seriously.
