Anyone else ever feel the same way?

I feel the time i spent in mmorpgs is better spent than the time i spent watching TV before mmorpgs - although not as good as some of the other alternatives. However most of those better alternatives e.g. hiking, i *couldn't* do most of the time anyway e.g. worknights, so the best comparison is with things like TV.

Get a different job.

I've heard this excuse many times back when I used to PT clients.

I run through the snow at -10C and ride through thunder storms or till -5C if no ice on my GSXR750. Don't be so soft.

EVERYTHING is just waste of your time ...

go kill yourself

Now for real ... almost everything is waste of your time, BUT if you enjoy it and it makes you happy thats all what matters :) NO ONE can ever say that playing mmorpgs, games or whatever is less meaningfull that going out with your friends or whaterver. All comes to you and what you enjoy more :)

everything is a waste of time.

your live consists of time you waste.

actually even doing stuff in RL is a waste of time.

earning money? waste of time.

life is meaningless. it's only meaning is to waste your time. get used to it.

you will waste your time till you ran out of it, then you die. no more time to waste...

so, i suggest do what is fun to you while wasting your time.

If nihilism was a valid philisophy then nihilism wouldn't matter, thus I can safely reject it from consideration and embrace the essential value of my time.

As mutch a waiste of time as watching tv,  reading books (non education books/tv) or making post about waisted past time on forums. If you feel unsatisfied be a Hero  and act.

 

I have that book, I found it via http://department.monm.edu/classics/courses/clas230/mythdocuments/heropattern/default.htm

Being a waste of time is why it is called a hobby, and not a job.

Many would argue that their job is a waste of time, though...heh.
