Open ended ScriptThis pattern resembles the
Until and After scripts having a
particular cutoff point after
which things change. But for
the person with an Open
ended script, the time after
that point is just one big void.
It is as if the closing pages of a
theatrical script had gone
missing.
Open ended ScriptAlfred has just retired after 40
years service to his firm. Now
he is at home with his tribute
and marble clock. He had been
looking forward to his extra
leisure. But instead of enjoying
it, he feels strangely uneasy.
What is he going to do with
himself? How will he fill his
time?
Open ended ScriptMargery says goodbye to the
youngest of her four children
as he leaves home for the
last time, now as a young
adult. She heaves a sign of
relief. After all these years,
no more child rearing
chores!
Open ended Script
But a day or two later,
Margery is feeling a bit
down. Without the extra
washing up, the dirty
clothes lying around for
her to tidy away, she is at
a loss what to do with
her time.
Open ended ScriptThe Open ended script pattern may be lived out over the short as well as the long term. Some people typically set only short term goals. Once they have completed these, they flounder, not knowing what to do until something else come along. Then they set another short term goal, and the process is repeated.
Open ended ScriptThe motto of the Open ended script is: Once I get to a certain point in time, I wont know what to do with myself afterwards”. It recalls the myth of philemon and Baucis. This elderly couple welcomed the gods in the form of travel worn strangers when others would not. As a reward for their kindness, the gods extended their lives by turning them into trees planted besides each other with their branches entwined.
