Thank you.
In the play, Waiting for Godot by Samuel Backett, two old tramps, Vladimir and Estragon wait someone named Godot under the appointed tree. Not knowing since when they waited for Godot, and till when they will wait for him, they just spend their life by waiting for Godot. As they get bored with waiting, they even try to hang themselves. However, lacking brevity and awful condition, all they can do is just waiting for Godot. Godot never comes until the end of the play. Countless appointments got broken already, and there is no conviction that they will finally meet Godot.
People often get bored in their life. When they wait for friend more than 15 minutes or when they take the class that is dry and dull, they feel tedious. However this kind of temporary boredom that disappears some day is not serious problem. What if I face the intrinsic ennui that Vladimir and Estragon experienced? Will I get frustrated by the unavoidable boredom and continue their life wimpishly as Vladimir and Estragon did? No, I should not. I should fight against the underlying tedium and continue my life, to signify the meaning of my life and myself. I should continue to introspect and agonize about the true identity. I need to keep ask myself what kind of value I should obtain as the human that lives under the heavy pressure of life. Base on that concern, I should continue my life standing proudly and signifying the true value. That is the true lesson that Backett tried to convey on Waiting for Godot.
