In the late 80s, I wore a button on my jeans jacket that featured Frank Sinatra and the phrase “It’s Frank’s world. We just live in it”.
In thinking about Real Life 20910, a Shakespeare quote comes to mind. “ All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.” In calling our attention to the drama that is day-to-day living, the Bard makes no mention of leading or supporting actors. We are all doing our thing, striving to make it work for ourselves, for our families. We can do this in many ways, but not at the expense of others. Seems like a simple rule. So if you find yourself expecting star treatment over your neighbors just think of Ol’ Blue Eyes. It’s not your world.
