Life Is A Rehearsal

To say that life isn’t a rehearsal is a ridiculous statement which could be meant to deceive, turning meaning upside-down, as if the life we are living is the only reality so we should enjoy it. It’s nearly true, but not quite. 🙂 We need to practise in order to have compassionate understanding.

Life is a rehearsal. It is practice to become what we truly are. Living in the present moment is a start, but we have to clarify that present moment.

If we think we’re here to amuse ourselves or to be amused, we fall into stupidity. Even religion is an amusement, an interesting occupation, something to believe in.

Muse: Late 15th century -‘to delude, to deceive’: from Old French amuser ‘to entertain, to deceive’, from a- + muser ‘stare stupidly’.

It is up to each individual to decided whether life a rehearsal or not.
No one else can tell them.

Meditation is the rehearsal, 
so that life becomes the duty of compassion towards others.

The lazy do not rehearse; they merely amuse their self.
Life is a rehearsal, as we’re constantly having to practice to get it right 🙂
