Actor and Author (spiritual)

“You are an actor in a drama of such sort and the author (God Almighty) chooses - if short (drama) then in a short one; if long (drama) then in a long one. If it be his pleasure that you should enact a poor man, or a , cripple, or a ruler, see that you act it well. For this is your business - to act well the given part, but to choose, it belongs to another (God Almighty).” Epictetus
