We’re all actors. There’s virtually no way you can maneuver through the day to day of day to day without having to play some sort of role. It doesn’t have to be a dramatic role… sometimes, you have to act a certain way to get some extra cream in your coffee… or to get ahead in a line.
We all act. We’re not all leading actors, but we all act. Think about it.
How many times have you heard someone saying, “I’m just being me.”? How many times? You might hear that coming out of someone’s face at least five times a day. Seriously. What does, “I’m just being me,” even mean? Who are we but actors playing a role? Multiple roles! We are different actors all depending on the different scenes. I’m not the same squirrel at breakfast than I am at dinner. I’m not the same squirrel in love as the squirrel in indifference.
No one is just one thing. No one is just “me”.
