Expend your time and energy on things that are of benefit. Release frivolous activities and acquaintances.

Tricky translating visual associations to a reasonable response. Few thoughts: • benefit is subjective, contingent on one’s conditioning, although in some specific cases the benefit (+/-) is clearer....not to be confused with more people agreeing about that perceived benefit.
• two lenses which come to mind are the buddhist wisdom/compassion (although there is a lot of silly thinking re: punya), and the notion of usefulness and/or enjoyment • then you have these unclear tensions between benefit/harm for self/others, over short/long terms

• I suppose a lot of this could end up coming down to some fuzzy discussion about what ‘feels right’. I generally strongly dislike appeals to ‘authenticity’, but I can see how that might be what feels right according to a person’s conditioning, even if that is delusional.

we often determine beneficial/detrimental in hindsight, and then use that experience as a guide. e.g., staying away from energy vampires.
