In 1949, Samuel Beckett wrote the famous play En Attendant Godot, in which the characters endlessly fumble through meaningless actions while waiting for Godot to arrive and save them.But Godot never came.The play, initially ignored for being too monotonous, later drew large audiences across Europe, who saw it as a metaphor for the hopelessness of socialism.
The protagonist in Ending In Silence is an intellectual from Saigon who joined the revolution in the jungle. He knew Godot would never come, so he didn't wait.He chose his own path.He lived as if his life were a novel, a creator of himself, a cog that leapt out of the machine.Whether as a Viet Congin the resistance zone, in prison, or drifting through worldly life, he remained himself. He lived truly, fully, like a rising tide, wild, devoted, silent, rebellious.He could hang out drinking or sit in silence, laugh or cry, be debauched or saintly. Anything went.He brought his life to the table as a feast, as a game, as creation and destruction. That was pouring his essence into living, without needing applause.Like a river eager to merge with the vast ocean, he hurled himself forward.He had but one chance to live. He was in ahurry. So he didn't wait for tomorrow.
