A poor modality of consciousness,
rich in teaching for whom has educated one’s gaze, is that of stage performance.
Component potentially present in everyone, it is expressed very willingly in individuals joined under the banner of the couple.
It is an eminently subtle process whose observation is acquired for those who know how to slow down the running speed of a tape viewed a hundred times until the detail that changes everything appears.
Click, we’re going out, and the gazes of others, whether they actually are or we fantasize about them, activate the stage modality.
To a certain degree of appreciation, all representations are equal.
There are flamboyant actors and others with a rough acting,
but a play is always a play and the actor a being in performance.
To another degree, however, the play is also reality and the actor, the authentic being.
Let’s cross the scene and move beyond.

Why the stray « for » in the first paragraph? Not sure if you have left something out or that word in.

Thank you Simon,
I’m so bad at proof reading…
Which is the first politeness for whoever wishes to post anything publicly.
Or English,
or just, writing, at times…
Well, I hope it makes more sense, now.
I’m never sure whether the use of ‘his’ is a correct personal pronoun when referring to a generic ‘One’.
If the plural (their) is more adapted from a grammatical, perspective, I’d use it gladly.
in case this practice is yet another woke hijacking of language, no way…

If referring to a non-gender specific « one, » I would tend to say « one’s » rather than « his ». Old fashioned, but strictly correct.

Oh yes.
I had forgotten this ‘one’.
Thank you, Simon.
