Dogot HW

After watching the "Power of Ten" video, I saw an instant connection with what the video discussed and the play. Didi and Gogo are like the person who is watching the distance of either increasing or decreasing. They have reached a certain degree or distance of understanding of who God is, what he would want, or when he will come but not entirely, which is why the narrator in the videos said we reached "the edge of present understanding". This means like Gogo and Didi and like Us, we have reached a certain degree of what the truth is but if we try to speculate or dig deeper, we will be presented obstacles or knowledge that probably overwhelm us or we won't have a way to describe it. Gogo and Didi can ask all the questions about Godot and answer most of them with their own rational answers but like in the video, there will come a point where they ask a question that they will find hard or be unable to answer. They know that Godot is coming but they aren't sure when exactly or they know somewhat where Godot will arrive but they aren't 100% sure about it or question if they are in the accurate place. The video states that certain levels of understanding can be reached and conclusions can be drawn up from them but there will be a line or wall that'll be reached where finding a satisfactory answer will be difficult. I feel like Pozo is a manifestation of a man trying to be God and lucky is the man who believes that or was probably forced to believe that. They symbolize the issues of men trying to make themselves like God by claiming vast miles of land to being theirs and the unfortunate individuals who confuse their wealth and power for something godlike. Pozo's claim could be made when he first confused for Godot and then questions angrily Didi and Gogo for not hearing of him before. This symbolizes the concept that man tries to be more well known than God or some other entity. Didi is more of a control freak that seem to play the big brother or motherly individual. He is very consistent with his memories and a bit more realistic or logical. When I claim his is more of a big brother, it's because he claims that Gogo depends on him, signifying that he is more responsible. Gogo is indepth with his emotions and his partner's. He backs up this assumption when he claims that Didi would far off alone than dead, signifying that he understands him at deep emotional level and knows him very well. These two are mostly talking, in my opinion, about death. Maybe they are talking about their deaths and Godot being a sugar coated version of their final minuets. Their uncertainty of where, how and when Godot is too become is problem their paranoia of death since it could come at any minuet and maybe they hide that by being confused on the date of when Godot is to arrive. Maybe they are two men who just trying to figure the answers of death and what comes after but they are afraid of the methods they have to take in order to find the answer. This could be about spiritual enlightenment, the whole time they are trying find the correct time and place of where to meet Godot, is like trying to find the perfect zen place to discover the truth. It could also be about enslavement of man by those with power, where Pozzo could play the anarchs and power hungry indivduals of those times back then, possibly today, and how they abuse the weak and poor, or in this case Lucky. I feel like my life is like those two in way questioning life in both logical and philosophical terms. I want to believe that I die and wake up in a giant machine ran warehouse full of every person in the world like in the Matrix or that I ascend to a higher existence. However I'm constantly debating and arguing with myself about what makes sense and what doesn't. I don't think this book is cynnical. If it was, it would have a plot of trying to convey that God is one certain thing or value and to not question it. It actually does the opposite in my opinion. I believe what makes us insecure is when we aren't rewarded for being ourselves or being rewarded in the way we want to be for being ourselves or just not receiving a certain gesture from others when we act honest and true. People tend to act out of their insecurities because of fear of being used or hurt by others, not knowing that is what everyone else is probably doing too. The flip side to insecurity, in my opinion and understanding is trust, peace and understanding. If we allow others to see who we really are and convey to them they are someone of value to see something as important which is our true vulnerable self, that makes them secure about their self worth and they return the favor because they see they can trust you too. This can lead to universal understanding and ultimately peace. Maybe I'm getting to ahead of myself but I believe in good ol' peace and prosperity and the road to acheiving it.It pains me to see that someone decided to give up on that concept and made you all believe that no one is trustworthy and that you should keep your circle close or closed entirely, which actually makes your problems worse rather than better but I'm not going to get into it because I need sleep.
