Are you a player or are you a spectator?

[Mr. Ed]

I am a spectator, one who observes before stepping into the line of fire.

 

[PeppermintPatty]

A spectator or observer

 

[officerripley]

Spectator here also.

 

[hollydolly]

Definitely a player.... !

 

[JustDave]

"Both" is the correct answer. It's a sliding scale.

 

[chic]

It depends. By nature I prefer to be a player but there are situations where it is better to observe if you know what I mean. Anybody else? Interesting question.

 

[hawkdon]

I think I am a spectator at life, not a leader for sure...altho I have
screwed up several times when trying to be a leader.....

 

[fuzzybuddy]

A player or an observer?
Nope, I'm the star.

 

[Fyrefox]

I slyly observe, undetected unless I want to be seen. Stealth is one of my kind's weapons...

 

[VaughanJB]

I'm very shy.

 

[MaidMarian]

I’m a player. I like being in a the spotlight.

 

[Lilac]

It depends on the situation at hand, I've been both the player & a spectator.

 

[LoveTulips]

Spectator because of being shy.

 

[gruntlabor]

Neither player nor spectator be
Players lose, spectators get shot at

 

[hollydolly]

Neither player nor spectator be
Players lose, spectators get shot at

I never lose... !

 

[OneEyedDiva]

Spectator

 

[LadyEmeraude]

At this age now, I am a happy Spectator..

 

[Beezer]

I get a kick out of some posters. They're like...

"Yes. I spent 4 years lurking on this forum before I got up the nerve to join."

Me? I saw the website and...BAM!...I was In Like Flynn!

 

[ArnoldC]

Been both. Better spectator than player as it turns out.

 

[Radrook]

That depends on what the participation involves. Generally, I try to follow the principle stated below. Proverbs 27:12 ► The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.

Why? Simple, because whenever I have seen a danger and chosen to ignore it, I have always suffered the negative consequences. Some have been damaging to my health, such as boxing, and others life-threatening. So when choosing to participate or not, I prefer to carefully evaluate the pros and the cons carefully.

 

[Brookswood]

As we age we become spectators while the young folk alter the world to suit themselves. That’s OK. We did it also.

 

[Naturally]

I like goofing on the crowd

 

[Paco Dennis]

I have played on Baseball teams, and played in bands all my life. But I am spectator in crowds mainly, and I never gamble...I was in Atlantic City for a month in 1983, at the Playboy Club. What a spectacle. Played in the band, nothing else. Oh some tennis with the trumpet player.
