OK,    you are wasting your time playing chess when your time is running out and your next rebirth is coming,  nine months again in a dark cave and you are lucky if your future mother will n0t smoke or she is f0r aborti0n.

Chess is just a t0y of the system  to keep your mind  far from the truth  .  You are a child , it does not matter your age, you are a child playing the same openings than botvinnik books and his overused system  recommend yoU.   

Forget about the axiom  Carpe Diem " Seize the day"  because y0u are already lost all your time playing chess or having chidren,  having a job, watching TV ...

 It´s bullsit man  ,  people with this axiom with luck they are in drugs , married,  , in churches , in ONg$ , Gyms, political meetings,  sp0rts , food adicts,disco....   this is very very sick man , stop feeding the system, stop playing chess .  

And there is another reason , i almost forgot but is the key to understand the message,   you should not play chess if you are a bad player.

 Nowadays in this Idiocracy you can watch guys singing or playing an instrument without skills in youtube.  The famous effect, Dunning - Kruger

Started to play a lot 2 and half years ago. Like every day. And havent sleep much for last year lol playing bullet late night and reading this forum.. And to watch youtube videos like thousands of them.. Wasted too much time of my non existend life. Have to change that...

But it feels better when you see players with 35 000 games or something and still 1500 rated lol.. But i am no that far from them.. on other site having double the games here..

I also waste my time fly fishing. In today's world, time wasting activities are the only ones that are philosophically and ethically defensible.

is enjoying yourself a waste of time?

I bet my boss thinks so- he'd love to have me spend ALL my time making him wealthy.

did you know that 0 is a number not a letter and the word toy, for, abortion and other words used don't have the number 0 in it but instead have the letter o instead. 

congratulations you have passed English for 3 year olds.

Thats like "You should stop playing Music if you suck At your Instrument" or like if your Not good At Boxing don't go to the gym anymore.

The moment you stop going out of your confort Zone is the Moment you waste you life.

I know people who aren't good at chess, piano, baseball, art, etc. and they LOVE doing them!

Life is a series of experiences.  On August 18, on Grand Cayman Island in the Caribbean at nearly age 67, I'm going to learn scuba diving for the first time in my life.  After two hours training in a pool, I'm not going to be highly skilled and I'll probably look awkward during the 30 minute reef dive that follows.  But I guarantee you I'll enjoy every minute of it!

Also you could say: You're wasting your time walking in a green garden and enjoy.

As a 71 year old grandpatzer who plays mediocre chess at best I think you have a point. I probably am wasting time which I could more profitably spend doing things for personal spiritual improvement. But I like the game. Life without fun is a miserable ordeal. So you follow your passion, and good luck to you. May you find true happiness/bliss. I will go on working out my own salvation in my own time. My God is big enough and kind enough to let me do so. I don't think God begrudges me having fun in my old age.

As Tiny Tim said: "God bless us, every one."
