Oh I feel what you feel a lot.. but in my moments of greatest clarity I never had a sense there was anything I *had* to do. There is no way I can justify my existence and no need to. I could die now or in 60 years and my life would be perfectly complete either way

What do my wife and kids need? More money? A better house? Healthier food? More activities? More opportunities? More friends? More time with me? More love? More attention? More siblings? More pets? More education? More safety?

No matter what I do I am “wasting time” by neglecting other needs
It’s a choice. YOU decide whether you are wasting your time. There is no objective criteria no matter how other people try to shame you

this is also a *completely* different claim from "it's impossible to waste time"
