Abstract: Part 1
The Theory of Wasted Time
What is the purpose of life? Is it to go to school, work, marry, children, get old and die? That is essentially it or what society would deem it to be. I disagree with this view completely and propose that the purpose is to enjoy oneself. To do what one thinks is fun, as long as it does not cause harm to anyone else.
With this in mind comes the Pro Evo example. If one likes to play pro evo and spends excessive amount of time at it. Is this a waste of ones time or is it a fulfillment of ones pleasures? The person is doing what they enjoy, it fulfills their needs and they are achieving what they want. It may not be ideal for everyone but for that individual it is.
This individualism is however flawed as a collective. If everyone did as they wanted and cared just for themselves then a society would not function. This is where a seperation between the public and private sphere is created. In the public sphere the collective of the group is at the forefront, one may have to give up their guilty pleasures for the greater good. However in the private sphere one is free to do as they will. To be continued............................
