we all play many, interchanging them without

realizing it: sexy and beautiful on

Instagram, philosophical on Facebook, witty on

Twitter. then, we become something different in

various forums, boards, and chatrooms.

 

in one forum, it’s the well-read educated person; in another, someone

horny and kinky.

“life’s a stage,” the Bard said. sadly, we’re not

actors in a grandiloquent, brilliant tragedy; hell, not even a satire

written by an ancient master.

 

we play in a farce, the whole world’s turned into a global

melodrama with no merit; we’re living in John’s

hallucinations, when he thought Patmos was

the back of an unspeakable hibernating beast.
