Then what's the meaning of your life? (If you feel playing games, watching TV & movies and reading novels is a waste of time)

Im not criticizing you at all, I'm just wondering how you set your priorities and how you reason about these things.

Knowledge, while it can be entertaining to gain that knowledge, you also have to ask what is it good for? If it doesn't help your career and bring in more money, then gaining knowledge is just as much a waste of time as gaming.

In the past I was a lot into gaining knowledge, mainly politics and society (and at that time I was in a long period when I didn't play video games). But one day I realized it was meaningless. There was no higher value with that knowledge. Actually it was associated with frustration (if you're into politics you know exactly what I mean) and I started to feel better by ignoring world events and instead concentrating on stuff I really like. That's probably why today I'm deeper into gaming than I ever was in my life.
