Shakespeare wrote that the world is a stage and all human beings have to play their roles. This may mean that we act out our part in a way that is mainly unconscious, we limit ourselves to follow the script we have been given, we don't even realize that we are acting. Others say that, yes, life is a stage but each human being - beside being a player - is also the script-writer and the director. They mean that we have the power to decide what we want our "play" to be, and that we can change the script any time we wish. According to them, human beings have full power of decision. Another possibility is that every human being plays a role on the stage of life while his (her) "true self" consciously watches from the audience sitting area. The individual sees himself play a part that he, most probably, hasn't chosen, but that he finds himself compelled to play. A puppet? Who knows!
