Summary

This quote suggests that life is akin to a theatrical production, where everyone assumes a role and plays it until their time on Earth concludes. It implies that life is temporary, and each individual has a unique character they embody and perform throughout their existence. Just as an actor plays their part until the final curtain falls, humans live out their roles until the end of their lives, emphasizing the transient nature of life and the importance of embracing and embracing one's role within it.
