Life as an unfolding movie- MATTHEW WARD

Image by Sharka Todd

You are in the cast of billions, all of whom are given free rein to act however they think best fits the scenario at hand.

So, behaving in accordance with respective personalities and characteristics, a few actors are ruthless in efforts to monopolize the scene while others strive for a team effort to serve the interests of all.  Some members become angry about the way the story unfolds, others are pleased, still others are discouraged, and many in the cast are confused.

Some actors behave unreasonably, others urge cooperation so things can proceed smoothly; and as some rise in prominence, others fade. Some cast members feel their parts are too small, others feel theirs are too hard; some think the film will be a success, others are afraid it won’t be.

Cast members die, newborns come into it. And, since each actor’s main focus during filming is his or her part, it is only when the entire cast views the completed production that they can see why all of the roles were necessary to make this motion picture of unprecedented stature and scope.
