I recently found out that one of my acquaintances moonlights as a stripper in Vegas. Now I personally do not have a problem with this. Why? Well, first off it is a personal choice for her and that has nothing to do with me. I got used to the people around me superimposing their opinions about me onto me and I do not want to be placed in the same category as them. Second of all, it is her performance and I am all for expression through performance.
I am under the impression that every movement, every word and every thought a person makes is all for the Grand Performance. Shakespeare* said, "All the world's a stage, and all their men and women merely players" and I use it as my personal mantra because it is true. Think about the last time you were with a group of people: your family, classmates, neighbors, coworkers, whomever. before you act, react, speak or otherwise do anything you follow a set of rules for that group. For example, you will most likely not talk about your overbearing boss with your kids. Also, these rules also involve the language you use and the motions you utilize.
I know my life is surrounded by the way I act around others and you know too.
Think about it.
