The world is a stage and all the men and women are its actors and actresses. They all have had been taught by their directors to be able to perform. Day in and day out they perform there skits for acceptance. Not for us, the audience, no no no, we are merely observers of the situation that is at hand. We are not able to control the motion of the performers are change the outcome of the story. We just sit back and watch and judge silently. But for whom? None other than the critic of course. For he is the only man (or woman) that they see out in the audience. And why is he the only one who matters and no one else? It is because he can do what the audience cannot. He holds the right to say what is good and what is not. So with the push of a key or two he can make actors stand on top of the world or make them the worst of the worst.
In this world the audience or the observers are those who are not wrapped up in the drama that happens on a daily basis and want to nothing but watch and see the turn out of the situation. As you probably guessed, the actors and actresses are those who are going through the current struggle or situation, and are the only ones who matter( sort of ). And finally the critic, the top of the pyramid. They are also the one who can resolve the situation, for one party its going they are going to be in a worse situation and for the other a good one, but none the less the situation has been resolved. The main role of the critic is for us to surpass our goal and the only way we can do that is by gaining the acceptance of the critic.

Who's "the critic" exactly? I like that you're digging deep into some philosophical matters, and the metaphor of "all the world's a stage" is a time-tested one that always warrants exploration. But you raise at least as many questions as you answer.
