Friday 1/13/17 Agenda

The process of waiting in the play was very boring.  However, when I thought the play reflected us, it gained meaning. For example, if we leave our works to do and look at our surroundings, we can see many examples like Vladimir and Estragon.  They were mostly us.  They did not make any important changes in their lives.  The only thing they did was just wait for the death, the hope or God.  While waiting, they filled their times with some insignificant things which were talking about boots, watching the dance of Lucky or imitating Pozzo and Lucky's roles.  They even thought about committing suicide by hanging themselves on the tree.  To reflect on our lives, we were born and we will die.  While waiting for death, we fill our lives with some enjoyments.  Like Vladimir and Estragon needed each other, we need somebody to talk, to enjoy or to die with together in our lives.  Like Vladimir and Estragon did not move even they said " I am going," we have some plans but if we do not make an effort, our plans stay just as words.
