To be or not to be

Should you be yourself all the time without the fear of people getting judgemental or Should you portray a certain image and behave in a certain way?

Was shakespeare right in saying - All the world's a stage and we are actors who are supposed to act out or was he right when he said - God has given you one face, and you make yourself another??

  1. Like the Joker said - "Don't talk like one of them. You're not! Even if you'd like to be. To them, you're just a freak, like me! They need you right now, but when they don't, they'll cast you out, like a leper! You see, their morals, their code, it's a bad joke. Dropped at the first sign of trouble. They're only as good as the world allows them to be. I'll show you. When the chips are down, these... these civilized people, they'll eat each other. See, I'm not a monster. I'm just ahead of the curve."
    Be ahead of the curve thats all you need.

  3. Whatever you choose to do stick to it; don't hobble between the two.
    My advise - be yourself. You will not have to hide your true self then.

  4. accidently ( made to) stumble upon the post...so thought might as well commit the crime which i was accused of.

    Ms Glory,
    "Was shakespeare right in saying...or was he right..." Both means the same. when he said we are actors who are supposed to play our parts he never intended it to be a superficial role. we play our role as per the environment around us and still remain true to ourselves.

    "should you be yourself..."
    solution to your dilemma lies in the answer to the query "why SHOULD you...?"


    cant ignore :)'ing request.
