  2. ...where ever you are someone is watching...YOU...

  3. Rush

    Album - Moving Pictures

    Song - Limelight

    Lyrics - Neil Peart

    Living on a lighted stage

    Approaches the unreal, for those who think and feel

    In touch with some reality beyond the gilded cage

    Cast in this unlikely role

    Ill-equipped to act, with insufficient tact

    One must put up barriers to keep oneself intact

    Living in the limelight, the universal dream

    For those who wish to seem

    Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation

    Get on with the fascination

    The real relation, the underlying theme

    Living in a fish eye lens

    Caught in the camera eye, I have no heart to lie

    I can't pretend a stranger is a long-awaited friend

    All the world's indeed a stage

    And we are merely player, performers and portrayer's

    Each another's audience outside the gilded cage

    Living in the limelight, the universal dream

    For those who wish to seem

    Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation

    Get on with the fascination

    The real relation, the underlying theme

    Living in the limelight, the universal dream

    For those who wish to seem

    Those who wish to be must put aside the alienation

    Get on with the fascination

    The real relation, the underlying theme

    The real relation, the underlying theme

  4. everywhere is your stage

  5. I've always thought it meant it was supposed to be taken in a personal way.  And that I am the star performer in this stage of life that we are all part of.  For it is my life and no one else can live this life or perform for me.  No one else can take my role meant only for me.  If I am great in life it is only because of the supporting cast has made it so.

  6. all parts of the world are places where people who play the "characters" take part. People are watched by an audience which would be the other characters. It just goes around and around, but however, all the people of the world have a part to play.

  7. All of existance is a masquerade. Every being is either a prop or an actor in a monumental play. Each with facades that they put on to entertain the masses. Anything to please the audience, right?

  8. The world is a stage. Very rarely does anyone show who they really are with no pretenses. We put up walls around ourselves, a stage so that we can preform and no one will bother to look past the act to what's really inside. We do this to avoid the risk of getting hurt. Trust is a big issue here.

  9. Everyone is constantly putting on an act for the people around them, acting the way they want to be seen all the world is a stage to the acts that people put on.

  10. Each day the people around us, and ourselves included play a role in life. Whether its the happy go lucky bimbo to the quiet shy girl next door type.

  11. That anyone can be the best at something and shine like a star should the choose to pursue their ambitions and work hard.

  12. The entire world is a platform for people to act on. Everyone is a character and plays a part.

  13. it gives you vision for performing your part.As everything is temporary or for time being,don't get attached to it.Do your duty in unbised manner. whatever best you can extract from this short performance,try the best to derive from it.

  14. I think that the it literally means what it says, we all act out our  parts of play. The thing to think about is: if it is true we are actors in a play, there must be a playwright. Someone who is controlling what we say, how we act, how those around us act.

    This does not coincide with the notion of feewill.

    You need to pick which you believe in.

  15. If All the world's a stage, then I'll give 'em a h**l of a show
