On becoming the real thing.

I am an actor. A very good actor. Capable of pretending almost anything. With the help of a fertile imagination. When I’m sad, for instance. I do a turnabout. Simply by playing  the role of a happy and joyous man. So convincingly, that I actually forget ever having been sad. There I am. Miraculously catapulted. Into the domain of happiness. Yes, I’ve become who and what I am. With the help of my amazing acting ability. Able to play the part. So well. That I am no longer an actor.  I’ve become the real thing. --Jim Broede
