Nothing is a waste of time.

Can someone in an abusive relationship let this sink in?

Can a guy who because of despair joined a group of bad wagons who later went to rob a home but was caught and sent to prison to rot forever accept this message?

Can a father who in his late 60s because of one reason or the other conducted a DNA test on his "supposed children" only to discover that NONE was his...can these words "nothing is a waste of time" comfort him?

Can the parents who have spent a fortune, invested in prayers and all that believe that nothing is a waste of time when they received the news that the children they trained to be medical doctors who are on the verge of graduation suddenly died in an automobile crash.

Yeah. "Nothing is a waste of time" looking at it from the perspective which you wrote from but when you look at the bigger picture, you'll discover that there are lots of things that are waste of time.

Some people have spent time and resources to build their relationships with someone else but at the slight dispute, the walls came crumbling because one or both parties chose to depict attitudes sponsored by pride causing one or both parties live in seclusion and loneliness. Was the relationship a waste?

Imagine a man who strives and works hard to make ends meet. Dedicated in his work but at the end of the day, there's no loved one for him to spend and enjoy his fortunes with. Isn't that a waste?

What is the futility of life?

It takes a lot of convincing and comforting for one to accept within themselves that nothing is a waste of time and that in every activity, occurrence, happening or story, there is something to be learned from there but I believe it takes much more for one to accept the fact that in this life, somethings are a waste of time.

N.B. My contribution on this subject is not to discredit you or your perspective about life but to make you look at the bigger picture.

Thank you once again for another stack and your consistency🌹More inspiration to you. I'm hoping to pitch here next week. Bye 👋🏾
