Waiting For Godot

I read about Samuel Beckett's famous play "Waiting for Godot".

My friend recommended me to check it out so I did.

The play is very simple. 2 men were waiting for someone called "Godot", someone whom 2 of them have no idea how Godot looked like. They just waited and waited and until the whole play finished, that 2 men still waiting for Godot. They did not know why they had to wait for this Godot, they only know they have to wait; they can't do anything else besides waiting.

What kinda nonsense is this? That's my reaction after I finished reading the play.

But then I realised, how irony is this play. Yeah, we human always have to waste our time in waiting; always set some targets while waiting for the results in order to determine how much we are worth of.

Most of the people would think that this play is nonsense too. They thought, where got such idiots? They would never be like that, waiting for dunno what they are waiting.

But, those are the people who will wait and chase for something in life, keep on waiting and keep on chasing.

When you ask them why they need to wait and chase for that something?

"I also dunno why, but I just feel the need to wait and chase for it." will probably be their answer.

In Malaysia, there are these bunch of people are waiting for an annoucement currently. An announcement by that top guy of Malaysia eventhough they dunno what he is gonna announced.

In US, there are also these bunch of people who are always waiting for miracle to happen, to bail them out the current shitty situation, just like in 1992. No wonder heroic action-packed movie like spiderman, superman, batman etc... can sell very well in US.

In Thailand, everyone is also waiting. But nobody know what are they waiting for. 2 prime ministers were down now. Who is the third one? True, nobody knows.

It seems that everyone in the world is waiting for Godot. So, does it mean that everyone of us is a fool?
