They have to learn the play, do the play, live the play themselves, and then one day, they will be leaving stage right, and they will be tempted to yell to stage left, "do this" or "do that".

And it's then they understand, at least, the motivation of the old fogey who shouted out to them long ago, at the beginning, when all was new.

I don't mean it as something terrible, or something wrong. I'm not saying it is bad or evil. I'm not saying it won't be good and wonderful. I'm saying, it will be what you deserve. And that's really as good as we can hope for, any of us. Exactly what we deserve, no more, no less. Not everyone gets that. It would be an unfortunate life, where the lessons learned were not commensurate with the efforts made. The sun rises on all of us, the good book says, and such is true.

And let me just say this is some of the most puffed up, presumptuous piece of shit I've ever read. Know-nothing; funny you'd presume that anybody would be listening to your director calls. You're no director, nor are you an actor on the stage. Your a snotty-nosed miserable man lobbing spit-wads at those who are actually on the stage.

Security? Please escort the hobo out.
