| After a particularly moving SP performance. [One Hundred Aspects of the Moon via wikimedia] |
Sometimes a student or an observing faculty member will thank me after a scenario, saying "You're a really good actor!" And I appreciate that. It's flattering and reassuring that they think I've done a good job.
But I also think of a Japanese folktale comparing two actors playing the moon. After the first actor performs, the audience praises him: "You shone so beautifully! So bright! So magnificent in the sky!" The second actor, however, performs so naturally he was barely noticed.
Which actor was better?
