Okay since you mentioned games, let me drop gaming analogies on you. Way I see it, life is a little bit like Minecraft, (or the other way around. :) You know there's a dragon at the end, but the game is not about the end. You don't win the game. It has no meaning or goal inherent to it, you make up your meaning out of it, sometimes copy others. It becomes meaningless if you can't come up with a new goal anymore and can't find inspiration elsewhere. I feel like people pry at each other's life way too frequently over the little windows they're provided, and whatever they see there, they take it as a high score board and take note of how low they score in someone else's life. There's a certain image of happiness in our collective minds, and it leans very extroverted and centered around material gains. Of course, give it a shot, try some other passions and see if some stick, but in the end if what makes you happy is to play WoW, then take care of your responsibilities first, and then play WoW like there's no tomorrow. Over time you'll discover new passions, and you might want to keep or ditch previous ones. That's something to celebrate, not to mourn. It's as if you unlocked a new chapter in life. If your passion happens to be the next Carmack, then you will work towards it, and enjoy the ride even if you never reach the destination. tl;dr life is fleeting. chill out. enjoy the ride.
