We all think we're going to live forever. We know we're going to die someday, but we plan so far ahead sometimes, it seems like we'll live forever. Most girls plan out their wedding day, the number of kids they want to have, what kind of man their husband should be like, it goes on. Medical students plan out what they want to specialise in, where they want to do that specialty, when they want to settle down in life etc. But can we actually control these things? Is life ever truly in our hands? We didn't control how we were born, so how can we control how we die? (this of course, barring suicide)
So why not make a to-do list, with the deadline being 'before you kick the bucket'? You were put on this earth for a reason, might as well try to find it, in your own weird, quirky way, or just see what's out there, apart from the routine life a lot of us lead.
Forming the list shows what people would want to appreciate most in life. It could range from adventure, travel, family, friends, love.. you name it. To me, the bucket list in a way can show what a person thinks they lack in their day to day life.
I guess it's a concept that's been adopted by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where those children that suffer from fatal illnesses are granted the one wish they have before their death. It's a brilliant way to see a smile on these children, who suffer at such a young age. I would love to help grant a wish for one of these children someday.
My (unfinished) bucket list:
1. Have a white Christmas.
2. Skydiving.
3. Hold a snake (like in a zoo, not a wild one).
4. See the Taj Mahal.
5. Get a puppy.
6. (To be entered)
