Shakespeare was probably right, for once.
"All the world's a stage and we are just actors" rings true in my ears.
Aren't we all exactly that? Trying to portray a different image to others than what we actually are? I try and ask a patient to give up smoking and drinking when I myself can guzzle four large pegs without even batting an eyelid, and not even doing the customary swaying bit. I talk and speak to people as if nothing has happened when in reality, things will never be the same again. I lie to people whom I never thought was possible to lie. Hell, sometimes I get so much 'into character' that I manage to even fool myself.
I wonder where the 'Director' leads the play, where my part is truncated, or where I emerge victorious with the spoils, only to go down again... I just wonder...
"All the world's a stage and we are just actors".

Look at it this way, if we were to wish upon others all the evl in our lives, what would that make us? Better we warn people of potholes we have encountered, lies we have faced.
ooops, that was 'evil'
