says (in part), "Beckett's story centers around two men, Estragon and Vladimir. They wait beneath a tree each day for Godot. At the end of each day, a child with innocent eyes arrives and tells them that Godot will not come today, but that Godot will come tomorrow. "Are you sure he will come tomorrow?" ask Estragon and Vladimir. "Yes," replies the boy, but Godot never comes. Others however, do come, and the play unfolds.

Critics have noted that Estragon and Vladimir represent humanity and that Godot represents God. Some say, and Beckett did, that man waits for God but God never comes. Interestingly, as Estragon and Vladimir wait without result for Godot to arrive, they contemplate suicide. Not surprising in that the horrors of World War II, a suicide attempt by all mankind, had only receded seven years earlier.

God represents many things to many people. However, in a universal sense, divinity might be equated with social justice and order, tolerance and compassion. Such are the things God represents to man. I have spent the past nine years of my life writing for social justice and order, tolerance and compassion - "Writing for Godot." I've come to understand that Godot will not come today. Perhaps he will come tomorrow..."

Hm. Well, insofar as Godot (God) coming today or tomorrow is concerned, it can legitimately be said that he figuratively came on Feb 8, 1995. Nobody realized it at the time. In fact, nobody realized it until late this year, 2011.

A person might then ask, "Well, if God figuratively came in early '95; but nobody realized it until late in '11, then what difference did it make that he figuratively came?" And a related question would be, "What is the meaning of the phrase "figuratively came"?

The answer to the latter is that God is similar to the words which proceeded out of his mouth; and the words which proceeded out of his mouth were established to be such in early '95. As to the former question (what difference did it make that God figuratively came?), it has made almost no difference thus far.

But "almost no difference" is not the same as "no difference". This claim is based on the portion of the words which proceeded out of the mouth of God which read, "Thou, Bethlehem, art least among the [people] of Judah. Out of thee shall come [the Lord of hosts] that shall rule my people [of] Israel. And [the Lord of hosts] shall establish his kingdom upon the throne of David, and upon peace, and to order it with judgment and to [order] it with justice, and there shall be no end of the increase of [his] government from henceforth, even for ever."

One thing we learn from this portion is that somebody is figuratively called "Bethlehem". Another thing we learn from this portion is that the Lord of Hosts will figuratively come out of the person who is called "Bethlehem".

Yet another thing we learn from this portion is that once the Lord of Hosts is figuratively out of the bottle called "Bethlehem", there is no getting the Lord of Hosts figuratively back into the bottle. Not ever. This situation is because of the portion which reads, "and there shall be no end of the increase of [his] government from henceforth, even for ever."

So regardless if everybody realizes what has happened, or not, the increase of his government began in '95, and will not ever stop. So a prudent person would join his government now instead of later.

The office to apply for membership in his government is open 24/7 at http://thisgoodriddle.com Good luck.
