You want to get up on that stage, be a singer, an actor, share your way of looking at things; show others what you think is beautiful and important, tell others what you believe in.

But suddenly you snap! You no longer care for all the things you believe in, or what's beautiful and important. You no longer share your way of looking at things, rather than that, you make them see what you want them to see, what you want them to feel, what you want them to say, and finally, what their reaction shall be. By the end of act I, you will have no problem saying that it was all for a bit of fun, and that you don't live forever.
