I make lists...

...a lot. About things I have to do, homework that is due, and important dates. I live my life by an agenda. If I didn't make these lists or organize my life by an agenda, I would be totally lost. Is this bad? Could my list-making possibly be the script to my life?

This reminded me of what we were talking about in class about Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. Is life just one big pre-determined list? Is everything we say apart of some huge script? It's so scary to think about. I would hate to know that my life is just a part of some bigger thing, where I am just a number. I want my life to be independent, different from others. So should I stop making lists? Should I put an end to my organization? Then what would happen? Would be life still be the same? "What is life all about?" I find myself asking this a lot. But like Mrs. Clinch said, there is no answer. No one will ever know until we die. So why do we fear death so much? We don't know what happens after, so what is there to fear? I think it is just human nature to fear the unknown. This play really got me thinking. Comment if you feel the same way...
