You know a 'bucket-list' is "a list of things one would like to do before one dies."
I don't think it's "necessary," but 'bucket-list' is a good label for one to categorize 'things one-does not have to do but -would like to be able to say they did once.' (I thought of adding 'truthfully' in there, but ;) thought better of it)
We have various 'to do'-lists in life: there's the 'schooling'-list: go to school, get a job, go to more school, get a better job (whatever keeps you 'swimming in formation');
Then there's the 'education'-list (or the enlightened 'education'-list) which one makes when one has stepped back & seen what 'schooling' is for: sort of a business-plan, I guess; when one sets about "educing" (taking-in what is given & formulating it to create something new).
I think I'm working through an 'education'-list with some strange materials: mixing the schooling 'they' call "education" with the experience of death-by-brain-injury & 'life anyway' (i.e. using the med-industry as little as possible, living on charity & a menial settlement from the man who killed me). And it looks like that list is going to end (the way I imagine the 'schooling'- & the other 'education'-lists end) with the entry of ... something peaceful-ish, like 'making-do forever.'
(Or is that 'making-due'?... "The Gambler, he broke-even" ... I forget :-\ )
A bucket-list is for someone who believes in death ... I think I'd rather call it a 'once in a lifetime'-list ("lifetime" being relative ... for some, it's 'all the time you have'; for me & others, it's 'an entire phase in your life, one which you can't tell how you got here-from').
I say: Treat a 'bucket list' like you treat the receipt from a fast-food joint (when you don't have to 'count' it as a business-expense) ... look at it (keeping it if you think you can use it ... sometimes they put coupons or online-surveys on those) & throw it away when you're finished with it.
(And tell the grandkids-etc. that you've done ALL THAT STUFF
whether you have or not ... the imagination far out-does real
-life anyway!)
