I think it's more of the stoic "memento mori" intention. Make sure your time is well spent.

- localghost3000 4y agoI understand the message. I get that it’s coming from a good place too. I’m just saying that stuff like this can make people feel bad about themselves unintentionally.
- nine_k 4y agoI'd say sometimes people may need to feel bad about themselves in order to improve. And this feeling may be triggered unintentionally, too; there's no way around it sometimes. Feeling the pain sucks though.
- localghost3000 4y agoWe disagree. Being ready to make a change and being kind to yourself are not mutually exclusive ideas.
- dnissley 4y agoAre you implying that feeling bad = being unkind to yourself?
- localghost3000 4y agoI don’t anything is as binary as that no. I do think that there’s a difference between being ready for a change and beating yourself up about your shortcomings.
- ip26 4y agoBut what counts as well spent? That’s always my biggest stumbling block with this topic.
- yulaow 4y agoI believe every single person must define that for themselves, and should be a definition specific for a short timeframe, it is useless to think about an "end-goal-well-spent" time because your opinion about what is well spent is gonna change of course For example, for me right now an example of "time well spent" is playing with my elder cat. I try to reduce the time dedicated to every other thing today just to be able to get more of this
- ip26 4y agoIt sounds good, but I’ve been trying to figure it out myself for years… easier said than done.
