In life, it is all about acting. People will always put up an act in front on you no matter what.This may be unintentional or deliberate, no one knows. There is always a Chinese saying " 人生如戏, 戏如人生 ". Life and acting always coincide. Like it or not,it's inevitable. That is the reason why there is an occupation that reads actors/ actresses. They are allowed to act in front of cameras, they are recognized but that doesn't mean they are the only existing actors/ actresses. In fact, almost every living soul can be called an actor / actresses.
There are similarities between occupational actors and people. First, occupational actor has directors to guide them, to tell them what's right what's wrong. It is likewise for people. Environment pressure and parents are our directors. They guide us and shape us into who we are today.
Also, we have audience. Our family and friends are our audience, they see how we behave, how we act in order to reach our goals.
For example, when you are young, you tried to cry in order to get your parents to buy the toys you wanted. Isn't that acting? you thought that by crying, you are able to get what you wanted. Unfortunately, this is short-lived. Then, in teenage life, your parents and teachers often asked you to study hard, earn big bucks and be a useful person in the future. So you tried to be hardworking and forego your carefree life just to act according to their commands. Then, you are finally an adult and this is one of the phases in life you have to act the most. you have to act when you are at an interview, act as if you are very knowledgeable and professional; in front of bosses you have to act hardworking and show your enthusiasm in your job in order to get promotion. This is what i called 'acting in life'.
Finally, you are at the last phase of life and thought that you can put all the acting to a stop. you are wrong. when you grow old, all the sickness and illnesses will come to you. So in front of your loved ones,you have to act strong and act as though it is painless when you are actually suffering. For example, my dad. He is one that doesnt want his family to worry about him too much. He went for operation before and have to be hospitalised. i can still rmb vividly his expression till now. As you know, elderly or in fact anyone doesnt like the idea of staying in hospital especially overnight so we offered to stay with him. But knowing his character, he will say "no, im fine. you guys go home and slp.". so we were about to take our leave. thats when he said another sentence " Rmb to come visit me tmr morning." Then i knew, deep down he's scared and doesnt want us to take our leave. In addition, every now and then he would have pain at his abdomen area due to the operation but he would just say he is tired and walked to his room with his hands putting on his abdomen.
Hence, people may act for different reasons. some may act in order to succeed in life or act so that their loved one will not worry.
This is life.
