Is a Bucket-List Really Necessary?

[Lindaroof]

I think some people just like to read their own posts! Bucket List's may not seem important to some, but to others they mean the world, so live and let live.

  No need for a bucket list. Live life the best you can and let everything else "play itself out."  some things are just not meant to be.

I don't really think I will have a bucket list.  I don't want any pressure to have to complete something.  I will do it as I want and can.

I think most people have some sort of list of  things they would like to do regardless of what they call it or if it's just in their head or actually written down

Huh? Who ever said it was necessary? It's not a to do list, it's a list of dreams you have basically.

I don't do anything on any list, If I want to go skydiving, I'll go skydiving, but I don't need some bucket list to do it...

It is all up to you. Choices or wants are for each individual to decide

[mgint]

I don't see anything wrong with it just something to remind you do the important things you always wanted to do.

Interesting, I haven't though about it that much.

Just depends on the person.  I don't have one, cause I tend to think way too grandiose about things like that, which kinda makes any list unattainable.

[sarabtrayior]

No. A Bucket list is good if you plan on dying within a year and you want to get those things done before you die...

[sarabtrayior]

I think life is a "bucket list," you get to do everything you want when you want it...

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!)

                        NO I THINK  PEOPLE  SHOULDLIVE    DAY  TO DAY  NOT  WORRY OVER RO STRESS OVER THE FUTURE
