The Theater of Life

Life is compared to a theatrical performance where individuals assume various roles dictated by societal expectations, environment, and personal identity. Some roles are inherent, such as gender and ethnicity, while others are adopted based on personal experiences and choices, such as being an activist or athlete. This dynamic highlights the tendency of people to curate their personas, particularly in the age of social media where they perform for an audience. The central question arises: are we genuinely reflecting our true selves or merely acting out roles that are expected of us?
