Life as a Play; Roles Assigned

From The Enchiridion by Epictetus
We are actors in a drama whose author is another; our task is to play well whatever role is given, not to choose the role.
Chapter 17
Remember that you are an actor in a play, the character of which is determined by the playwright... your business is to act the character that is given you well; to choose it belongs to another.
