Realization 3

Right from day of my birth
I kept acquiring the doses
 of knowledge ,
with a view to becoming
 a sensible human being.

Indeed I've grown up,
but as a seasoned actor;
One who is quite cautious and keen
about the expressions to be displayed;
One who is original , yet not real at all.

wow...what a brilliant realization... it is hard i think for anyone to be real these days. For when you do open up and let out your true self, it just opens your heart up to be broken. Wonderfully wise words ...wonderful write!

You know what they say...growing old is mandatory, but growing up is voluntary.
So saith the old lady with the Peter Pan complex...

I think, in one way or another, we are all actors...uh...and actresses...playing our little parts in our own little plays...
Excellent piece, my friend...

[Anand Sehgal]

My friend...I would tend to believe you are talking of me as well. The seasoned actor...smiling for no reason at all. Very cool write today my friend.

This is a great piece Anand...you've offered up a lot of food for thought, not to mention mystery. These are the reasons I'm glad I don't know any actors haha The last line is perfect...it made me consider the possibility of us all being actors in our own way ("All the world's a stage..."). Great piece :)

[Anand Sehgal]

thanks so much Kubla... yes, we are all actors :)
