Musing For Today
Childhood is the time for imagination and fantasizing
Adolescence is the time for worshiping ideals and idols
Adulthood is the time for joining those who work behind the scenes:
the novelists who write the books, concoct the stories and invent the characters
the actors who play the parts of fictional characters
the playwrights, the producers, the actors and actresses
the songwriters, the singers, the musicians
the politicians and leaders and authority figures
the teachers, the parents, the principals, the bosses, the business owners, the publishers
the directors, the producers, the managers
If you've grown up and find yourself still in the audience instead of on the stage
or if you're still listening instead of announcing, singing, or playing
or if you're still watching instead of acting, negotiating, or performing
you obviously still have never matured or grown up.

I think I've always been in the audience, obviously a sign I haven't matured or grown up. :D
ReplyDeleteI pretty much wrote this post for myself, as I'm one of those individuals who's never accomplished much of anything, and have a tremendous propensity for being chronically narcissistic.
