It is not the end when the curtain comes down.  You have just gotten to know the actors and their characters.  You were caught up in their stories.  You want more.  Can you see how life is just like a screenplay?  It is far more similar than most are aware.  Your souls are acting out pre-assigned roles.  After the curtain comes down, there is a wrap-up period during which you discuss with the director and stage hands how successful the production was and how it might have been even better.  And when enough momentum has gathered, you decide to take on another production, often with some of the same players.   Life is an ongoing adventure.  You are actors in one drama after another.  It is up to you whether or not you forget it is only a role.  This begs the question:  if you are not your role, then who are you?
