gaming is only considered a waste of time when you need to work

if you get home at 6pm, need to cook/eat/gym/chores etcthengaming can be seen as a waste of time

but if you're not spending 8-10 hours a day working (this includes commuting and generally not spending time doing things you choose to) - then gaming for a chunk of the day everyday doesn't appear to be a colossal waste of time like society suggests

i'm not in the position to not have to work sadly, but i find it interesting how all the folk saying how gaming is wasting your life away etc - if you didn't have to spend a chunk of the day working/at a job then gaming suddenly doesn't appear like a waste of time


anyways, i'm of the view that anything you enjoy isn't time wasted so **** it (unless it's hardcore drugs and other shiet)

TL;DR

whennotfactoring in money. in societies view, working in an office for 8 hours idea doesn't = a waste of time. but gaming does
