    Several have been written, each more absurd than the one before.

    when we are in it
    we usually don't see the truth,
    but then we wake up one day
    and realize it.

    If I planted a garden and nothing grew or if I tried to make babies but no babies came (course I could adopt if I choose to); that is -if I could not be creative in some way.

  • You might be wasting your life if you don't enjoy what you do: Do you hate your job? Do you spend most of your time thinking about getting another job or living in another place? Do you never spend time doing things you enjoy, hobbies, passions, etc.? If so, you might be wasting your life!

    For you bible thumpers, my life belongs to god and he/she can do with it what they want.

    What is ABing?  Is that constantly doing sit-ups? 
    Are you re referring to entertaining others with your personality and educating people with that side of you that is well-educated and soooo damn smart?
    I constitute that as a lending humor where it is needed and helping others.  This is not wasting your life at all. So there!  I can and will protect you from yourself, needed or not.  So, double there!

    I've never asked myself that question.  I believe that is your answer.

    Whether a life is wasted is a value judgement... and what may be a waste to one person, may not be to another. I tend to think that pretty much no life is wasted... every life has value, especially if in some way we reach out, interact with or make a mark on others's lives.

    The question was specific to one's own life.

    When you feel you are given every tool and not take that opportunity, scary or not, of doing something you know or might like and make you a better person.

    A "Quick Reply"  as it reads on my screen to Gypsyking~ Not to hit off your subject; but, I am going to.  I really like your picture.  It has a great feeling with lots of color. 
    That's All!
    Have a Great Day!

    Some possible symptoms:
    1) If I looked up to find myself somehow on my knees in a roomful of people on their knees with their hands clasped in prayer to some god. 

    2) If I accepted a job in the Trump WH. 

    3) If I spent my time in a basement smoking dope and playing Xbox. This post was edited by Don Barzini at May 31, 2018 9:31 PM MDT

    Because sometimes I waste it and I can tell the difference between not trying and trying to be positive and productive.

    When you feel unaccomplished, and have no sense of purpose.
