No, no..... ;-) Life is a stage play. It has a beginning: birth. It has an ending: death. In between you get to do all the drama which can really be fun if you do it in the right spirit and don't take the tragic parts too hard.

Then when it's over, you get to do a curtain call and afterward you get together with all the other actors from the play and have a big celebration. And after awhile you contact your agent, line up another part in a new play, start rehearsing your lines, meet the other actors who'll be in it, and the whole process starts over again.

What's so awful about that? Seems to me that the worst thing possible would be to be trapped in a play that never ends! Dorian Gray was faced with that, and he got pretty fed up after awhile, didn't he? He got "sick of all this repetition" (Dylan quote)
