Life is a moderately good play with a badly written third act.

I wouldn't go as far as to say that life is a moderately good play. Could you imagine watching life? There might be some good parts, with huge events, drama, action, but the rest would be so boring. A bad third act? How about a badly written script. We all say the wrong things all the time, we rarely have time to rehearse our lines, and we definitely do not get to practice with other people or give them advice on their performance. Could you imagine? That would make arguments so much easier. But I am sure parts of it would be like a soap opera, maybe some action scenes, possibly some huge thriller scenes. Full of secrets and surprises. With the lights on you on the stage all the secrets come out. The things you are embarrassed about, the things no one will know, the things that will hurt others. Talk about dramatic irony. The audience will be going crazy with the rush of secrets. Everyone has them. Things you did that no one knows about, or maybe you did with someone else and now the two of you awkwardly pretend it never happened. The things that will hurt people you care about so you keep to yourself. The play of my life would be a shitshow. No one would be able to keep up with the backstories and the secrets that surround my life. With the characters and the plot. It is so confusing even the actors wouldn't understand. I would be scared to watch the things that go on behind my back, and a lot of people would be hurt. Life is better contained. Once you put it out there in the spotlight, you can't take it back.
