“We must be willing to change chairs if we want to grow. There is no permanent compatibility between a chair and a person. And there is no one right chair.

In the theater, it is called the willing suspension of disbelief. That's what allows the play to make an impact on the audience: they have to be able to make believe that what's happening on the stage is really happening.
