“We play in response to what we hear.”

Was what I said trying to explain my frustration at the avioms (the sound system plugged into our ears when on stage that is designed to let us hear specific instruments, usually our own, at the volume we prefer) and how I am at lost at how to calibrate it to produce the sound that one would hear offstage. And then I thought, that more generally, if all the world’s a stage, then surely we act in response to our faulty perceptions of our audience’s perception of how we act. And like the avioms, there are too many variables to consider, and so we act with much uncertainty, indecisively.
