Time by pink floyd
What is the best way to spend your time?
A quick and meaningless waste of time questionnaire of how to spend and/or waste your time by skunkworks.
Should you spend time doing the things you like to do?
or
Should you spend time doing the things you should do?
What if you could spend your time doing the things you should do and also like those things? Is that even a possibility?
Or: should you do an activity like write about how to spend your time in order to figure out how to spend your time? Is that a worthy way to spend time?
How long should you spend time figuring out how to spend your time before you have completely wasted your time?
Or: is it just a complete waste of time if all you do is consider the options of how you should be spending your time?
BUT what if you spend all your time considering the options of how you should spend your time, and you run out of time?
Is that time well worth spent?
Who is to say but you? Or me?
If I find my time spent valuably than who can tell me that I have wasted my time?
That’s a subjective opinion. My opinion on how I spend (or waste) my time is objective.
Objective is the only thing that matters to me. Or you.
Or: at least that’s the only thing that should matter.
But what if I do decide on a way to spend my time and I spend my time doing the things that I like rather than I should?
Does that make me (or you) a hedonist?
Is bad to be a hedonist?
Hedonism is not bad if I (or you) don’t think it’s bad.
If I feel it’s time well worth spent than it was time well worth spent.
And that’s all that matters.
AND like I postulated previously: what if the things I should be doing…
Are also the things I like to be doing…
Then wasting time is not wasting time at all.
It’s just living.
But who the fuck likes what they should be doing?
The Enlightened Hedonist.
Then are the rest of us are just fucked?
Splitting our time between splitting our time between what we like to do/what we should be doing and living the rest of our time wondering if we’re spending our time the right way.
Perhaps this dichotomy is normal. All it requires is a slight shift to get towards the acceptance that no matter how we are spending our time, we are spending our time correctly. It was already written.
I firmly believe this at times, which I believe is the first step in coming to terms with time. I grapple with it only because I want to be free from it clawing it me as much as it does. And maybe it will help others come to terms.
This is the Adjusted Adult.
He’s older and maybe wiser, and wears longer sleeves to cover up the markings from along the way.
Not as fun as the Enlightened Hedonist, but perhaps better off overall.
