I had a chat with my friend 
In the course of our discussion, she asked an important question, which I considered answering in a different perspective.
She asked.....
I hope I'm not wasting time on Sola?
I replied...
Of course, you're wasting time
Obviously, my reply came like a surprise to her as she popped up the next question...
Jeline: Then why are we doing it?
Me: Because life is full of time wastage....
Truth is, we are all wasting time doing one thing or the other, hoping that in the long end it will turn out productive, and worth the wasted time.
This is a new week and today is monday, we're going to waste time again rushing to work, burning atleast 6-10hours everyday at workplace hoping to get paid at the end of the month.
We waste time going to school, reading and studying, hoping to get a good job on graduating.
Preachers waste time, preaching to people about the gospel of Christ hoping that a soul might get converted.
We waste time dating somone, feeling all the love, magic and excitement, hoping we'll end up getting married to them only to realize later that they weren't meant for us and other times we end up with them.
We waste time on Steemit writing, video blogging, churning out contents hoping it will get the attention of curators as well as get rewarded.
We waste time in real life talking to people about Steemit, burning our calories and ATP, hoping that they'll change their mind and join, knowing that Steemit is not a ponzi.
We waste time campaigning and canvasing support for a particular presidential candidate, hoping that he would bring about the desired change.
Parents waste time training and raising their children, hoping that they would take care of them at old age.
We waste time on the internet, researching about cryptocurrency and even risk money investing without being 100% sure of making profit.
We waste time filling airdrops, hoping that the coins will have value someday and other times you don't even get to receive the tokens.
So, yes, we're wasting time. But we're wasting time with purpose. We're wasting time doing one thing or the other with the perceived assurance that it will pay off someday directly or indirectly.
However, many people are wasting time on what will never pay off or add any significant value to their life. Some are even wasting time on what would destroy their life in the long run.
When we believe that some things are worth wasting time on, it will be easier to take risks and work harder on things that will change the course of our lives tomorrow, and that of our generation.
*So the question is....
What are you wasting time on?
Is it worth it?
Are you wasting time trying to find happiness in others?
When the true form of happiness is actually intrinsic.
"Waste time", but waste it reasonable!
