They say that the world is a stage. I could'nt disagree more because it is an understatement. There are 3 kinds of people in this world. The actors, those who cannot act and the directors. Everywhere we go, we are bombarded by 'fake people'. Actors are people who act to achieve their aim. Ever wondered why people dress up for interview? To leave a good impression. That's acting. Ever wondered the amount of crap that we say during an interview? Thats acting too. Ever tried eating humble pie in front of an extremely unreasonable guest only to curse and swear behind his back after that? Well, if we were to say that the customer is always right, which is bullshit, why don't we say that the service staff must be good actors instead? Need more examples? How about public relations and office politics?
The worst kind of people are those who can't act because they suffer the most. Poor souls. They are too straight and honest for their own good. They don't know the meaning of 'beautiful lies'. Have you ever been betrayed by someone whom you trusted so much only to find out much later that it is actually a harmless lie? The world works like that. Everyone does tell harmless lies every now and then. The world is realistic and people in the society are bloody actors.
How about directors? These are the intelligent species. The dictator who manipulates behind the scene. They are crafty and streetsmart with good communication skills and they 'carry balls' extremely well. They are usually ambitious and makes use of people to achieve their goals. The most fucked up people on the planet.
