All the World is a Stage

I was surfing blogs and I came across this passage from the blog "Wilson Boys 3" and it made me think:

"Be especially careful when you are trying to be good so that you don't make a performance out of it. It might be good theater, but the God who made you won't be applauding... When you help someone out, don't think about how it looks. Just do it—quietly and unobtrusively.That is the way your God,who conceived you in love,working behind the scenes,helps you out." Matthew 6:1-4 (in the bible)

The old adage "the world is a stage", in my opinion, doesn't go out the window with this quote. The way I interpret this is that the world is a stage... we're just not the actors. We need to stand back and admit that there are more beautiful performances than our own. I know that I would much rather be backstage making sure everything ran smoothly, or better yet, in the audience observing something truly beautiful for the first time and hoping that tickets for the next show aren't sold out... because their going fast.
