I can’t begin to tell you how repugnant I find the term “bucket list.”

It seems to imply that the sole purpose of life is to gather experiences before it’s over because, after it is, there’s nothing else.

Nowhere is the realization that what we do here determines where we end up after death. And if we only spend it on bucket list activities, we might regret that in the afterlife.

I agree.

Whenever I hear the term I am reminded of ‘one foot in the bucket’ (and the other on a banana peel).

I am presuming in this case bucket is referring to casket or grave and with foot on peel is definitely on the fast track on the way out.

Not everyone has a stringent view of their life, or the afterwards. I know that I may be considered a heathen, but that’s just how I perceive things.

A bucket list is fine, as long as it doesn’t become an obsession that takes over your life. The places on my list are there mostly as “would like to spend more time there” or “if I have a free vacation it acts as a reminder list.”

And the list evolves.

I’ve had too many relatives who spent ALL of their time focused on making it into heaven—to the exclusion of “living their lives.” In the end, they had more money than sense, and they really experienced nothing significant.

I cannot believe that any creator would like their “children” to live that way.

I agree. The other thing that is left out is helping make the world a better place than we find it. There are so many ways we can do that, in almost every moment and situation. Instead there are endless distractions put forth by the media and elite which will never satisfy the soul.

"...I can’t begin to tell you how repugnant I find the term “bucket list.”..."

I wholly agree. It's an extension of consumerism and conspicuous consumption.

That said, I have a list: All the evil people within easy reach who are worthy of death when hostilities break out.

Everyone should have a list like that.

You should not write it down!
