Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more; it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
- MACBETH, Act 5, Scene 5
Willam Shakespeare

Dear Readers,
Do you agree with Macbeth's sentiments?

How about
Its continuing mission:
to explore strange new worlds,
to seek out new life and new civilizations,
to boldly go where no one has gone before.
Do you agree with Macbeth's sentiments?
Yes.
Does that mean I'm a poor idiot and anything I say means nothing?
Don't answer that!
I am a "glass is half full person" so I prefer

It's a cone of Vanilla Ice Cream, just waiting to be devoured, CC. It's good to the last, but it begins to melt and drip all over your hand. You try to savor it by licking the liquid drip from what may waste. You take the cone, and before realise it, you desire another. Well, maybe...........
Yes - its a pantomime! Full of joys and sorrows, comedy and tragedy, twists and turns.
At the end of the show, everything is stripped down packed away - the scenery, lighting, sound equipment, wardrobe.
The actors remove all their make-up.
And what is left is reality.
The idiot is the one who wants the pantomime to go on forever...
"What will be left of all the fearing and wanting associated with your problematic life situation that every day takes up most of your attention? A dash, one or two inches long, between the date of birth and date of death on your gravestone."
- Eckhart Tolle
The idiot is the one who wants the pantomime to go on forever...
Yes, but I do wish to explore strange new worlds ... and to boldly....
Thank you, my friends, for your take on reality - reality seasoned with good humor and a dash of cautious optimism.

His words are true but his perspective a negative one. I prefer a happier "spin".

well, I agree with WS to a degree - at least my life seems to be taking place in a play run by idiots - or bureaucrats which is even worse. unfortunately, one of the idiots in charge is me. I have often thought that god is mistaking me for Lucille McGillicuddy.
