Not a bawfest.


What is wasted time?
I feel like I waste my time a lot. That I'm wasting my youth.
Does a day behind a computer screen and books count as thrown away? Is a day of unproductive vagrancy not wasted? Who decides what time is wasted and what isn't?
I don't know. I don't think there is such a thing as wasted time.
No time is worthless--Time always acts to benefit or detriment.
With introspection, one may find that a certain period of time could have been spent working towards a more desirable benefit, but that doesn't detract from the value of the time already spent. Without this "wasted time", one may never have come to the realization that time was ever wasted.
One can only come to the conclusion of having wasted time in retrospect, which already renders any judgment subjective.
Then again, all this rests on the assumption that there isn't an ultimate goal in an individual's life.
Yiiikes.
