...On a stage where the actors struggle, unaware they were cast before their first breath.
That's very true. I'm a firm believer in the fact that Powers higher than ourselves control our actions. We are actors on the stage that is the world and these Powers have pre-planned how our lives would go even before we were born. It's a gloomy realisation, yet we must try to always stay in control of our lives as best as we can. Thanks for this fine poem.
I'm of the opinion that our path was preordained before birth (maybe we even chose it) but we also have free will to make decisions and even deviate from that chosen path if we wish. Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
