“The thing about performance, even if it's only an illusion, is that it is a celebration of the fact that within ourselves we contain infinite possibilities”
— Daniel Day Lewis
Simplified Meaning:
When we put on a performance, like acting in a play or giving a speech, we might be pretending or creating an illusion, but it shows that we have endless potential inside us. Imagine a shy person who normally avoids talking in front of others. One day, they decide to sing at a talent show. On that stage, they become a different person, full of confidence and passion. This moment reveals that deep down, they have the ability to be strong and expressive, even if they usually don't see it in themselves. It teaches us that within everyone, there are limitless possibilities just waiting to be explored. Embracing opportunities to perform or step out of our comfort zones helps us discover new aspects of ourselves. So, even if something feels like make-believe, it can actually showcase the amazing abilities we all have.
