What part are you playing?

By Hilma Orr

Recently our grandson was in a play. The high-school students did a good job portraying characters quite different from themselves. A quotation from Shakespeare's As You Like It came to mind: "All the world's a stage,/And all the men and women merely players."

We all have a choice in the role we play in life—a vital choice. The book Science and Health talks about this choice: "What is the model before mortal mind? Is it imperfection, joy, sorrow, sin, suffering? Have you accepted the mortal model? Are you reproducing it?"

The author, Mary Baker Eddy, goes on to say: "To remedy this, we must first turn our gaze in the right direction, and then walk that way. We must form perfect models in thought and look at them continually, or we shall never carve them out in grand and noble lives" (p. 248).
