About This Quote
The world is a stage and the play is badly cast meaning that the world is not fair, it is biased and selfish most of the time. The problem with this quote is that most of us agree with it. The world is a stage where humans are the actors and play a role in a story that has been written long before they were born. Most human beings have been raised to believe that they are just another play in somebody’s script.
In fact, many people would probably agree that most of us are just minor characters in someone else’s play. We may have our own part in the story, but we’re only likely to be more than a walk-on character if we can get out of our own way and stop trying to make things about us.
