Was I sleeping while the others suffered? Am I sleeping now? Tomorrow, when I wake or think I do, what shall I say of today? That with Estragon my friend, at this place until the fall of night, I waited for Godot?

E: here you are! Again, writing some bullshit!
V: well, it’s about a play by Beckett!
E: oh! again! what is it about?
V: it is an existential tragicomedy- “nothing to be done”
E: oh! absurd!
V: yea, it is, it is ‘Waiting for Godot’
E: what Godoh God ot Goddoh God?
V: it's Godot G O D O T
E: strange name, what is it some God or something?
V: yeah, strange, it's nothing!
E: well, why does anyone wait in this, in the first place?
V: perhaps, that’s how it is
E: what is the whole point of waiting?
V: I don’t know, we simply have to wait
E: wait! how much one should wait?
V: before deciding it’s enough?
E: why wait?
V: perhaps we are condemned to do so
E: condemned! really! by whom?
V: I don’t really know but we are condemned
E: and does anything happens during our tribulation
V: no nothing happens, nobody comes, nobody goes, it’s awful. it is the universal phenomenon that the universe is perpetual and effectively nothing originates and dies off
E: nothing happens?
V: nothing, blathering about nothing, too much ado about nothing
E: why we read it then, in the first place?
V: I don’t get you?
E: we seek some action, at least in a play?
V: but there is none here
E: why do we read then it?
V: that’s exactly why we read it
E: is there any point in reading it?
V: perhaps none
E: then why do we read it?
V: that’s why we read it
E: and who will read it?
V: those who have troubled souls!
E: didn't get you!
V: those who want to experience life, in its fundamental form
E: what is it- life or death?
V: it is both, it is like an ordeal of human existence
E: but one must be bored to death, in this well of nothingness
V: hmm! death! That’s what we are running from, only towards it
E: bullshit! answer me first
V: well! alienation is a curse but we always find something for our illusion
E: we do exist, you do exist, I do exist, the one who is reading do exist
V: well! we are thrown into this existential malaise which is absurd
E: but we do exist?
V: we have to create meaning in this meaningless ordeal of ours, it is absurd but we have to go on, we need to make ourselves believe that we do exist
E: and what about life?
V: what we are discussing is life!
E: strange!
V: 'absurd' is the word!
E: can’t we break free
V: don’t talk nonsense
E: well! there must be some hope, somewhere, here, there, or in Beckett’s world?
V: hope! it is a hallucinating drug
E: so, there is nothing we can do
V: well! we may dance, we may sing, we may think or we may read or write
E: we have been doing for centuries
V: yea, it’s the endless vicious circle, again and again
E: so, there is nothing we can do
V: we can, we can wait
E: for Godot?
V: for our own Godot, each one of us has his/ her own Godot
link: source
E: and how we pass time
V: well! we need distractions
E: reading about you writing about reading others is a distraction?
V: yea
E: why do we do it then?
V: to pass time
E: what about beliefs?
V: well! they are created just to find some solace in our ordeal
E: really?
V: man is a slave to his own dogmas, anyone who tries to free him from those is met with repugnance
E: so, what about universe or universes?
V: it is just created out of nothing, for nothing, and will end up in nothing
E: nihilo ex nihilo
V: hmm!
E: so, we just have to pass the time?
V: perhaps we do
E: doesn’t it pass anyway
V: it will but we have to pass our time
E: could we get free from it?
V: don’t talk nonsense
E: could we hang ourselves?
V: shut up!
E: does god sees me?
V: well! he may not but we have to believe he does
E: what is his name God Godoh Godot, but the name must represent something?
V: it represents nothing!
E: absurd!
V: yea, just like life!
E: is he God?
V: I don’t know but he controls everything
E: then he can’t be god, for sure
V: well, is there any God at all?
E: how would I know, but the concept is very fancy
V: are talking about any specific god/s?
E: ah! they all are the same
V: but if there is any, why doesn’t he respond then?
E: perhaps he is not capable of, probably he doesn’t exist too
V: we should wait for Godot
E: is he capable of freeing us from this existential hell
V: how does it matter, if he is capable or not, one has to do what one has to do
E: you're right
V: hmm! waiting! how do we become used to waiting?
E: I don’t know but this is how we are, condemned!
V: are we dreaming? are we hallucinating?
E: haha! man always does it!
V: does what?
E: whenever he is encountered with truth, he seeks refuge in the names of dreams, visions, or hallucinations
V: it is very nihilistic
E: it is like life
V: what we have done, ah! it is futile
E: I told you so
V: it’s silly
E: the play?
V: oh man! it is, but I am not talking about it
E: isn’t life itself is silly?
V: bingo!
E: oh God(ot)! is it?
V: should we break free from it?
E: I want to break free
V: lets us hang ourselves
E: we can’t
V: don’t we have rope
E: haha! we don’t, still, we are tied, but it’s not about the rope
V: so, we have to wait
E: like every day we do
V: to end up the same
E: that’s how we are
V: condemned!

One day, is that enough for you, one day like any other day, one day he went dumb, one day I went blind, one day we'll go deaf, one day we were born, one day we shall die, the same day, the same second, is that not enough for you? They give birth astride of a grave, the light gleams an instant, then it's night once more.
