Are you wasting your time, if you keep filling it and it just keeps slipping away?

Answer 1

If I keep filling my time, time is always full.
What slips away?
Past-time? As in typing the word>present, will be past instantly. Future, present, soon present past...& so the cycle remains the same, always.
It's virtually impossible to "waste" time. That's a perception somewhere between your ears! Nor does anything slip away unless we make the choice to not "think" of it; as if it were a shabby item we could toss in the dumpster, or hide in the back of a closet.
If I keep re-filling my glass as I drink the contents, where do the contents "slip" to? Is it a waste to drink from my glass?

Even the stated "negatives," life in prison, wallowing, ambiguity--time isn't wasted, like a book of empty pages. Time is full, of what?--that is subjective.

Answer 2

Time is not measured in what you do or how fast you do it, but how happy were you doing it and how much happiness did you spread around you during that time. To be is more important than to do. Yes, it is good you fulfill your responsibilityes and whatever else is important do be done.
In today's world everyone wants to see what you do and noone cares about what you give up in order to do that. But when you do whatever you have to do while remaining contented then time is used in a worthwile way. We are alive and it is not that we would change that. So as long as we are alive we will deffinitely perform actions and together with that we keep the aim of remaining OK inside. Otherwise if we give up our peace and happiness in doing whatever ... then time is wasted. Time is also wasted in being bored and in remembering whatever hurtful things others said or did, especially if they didn't mean it.

Time deffinitely turns at every second so it is OK to fill it with useful actions if your bliss and peace bubble inside conforting your heart without limits ....

Answer 3

Since "time" is only a perception and not a reality, neither can it be filled nor can it slip away...although, in the relative field of our world (where we have managed to see ourselves as separated from one another and from our source--the Absolute field of being), we see the illusion of time and space as real. Thus, we are caught up in the hamster wheel activities of filling "time" and filling "space" with our ego-selves' seeming creations. The better way, rather than perceiving time as being filled or slipping away, would be to empty one's "self" of the false ego, "fill" with the realization of oneness with All That Is, and "slip away," back into the One, reuniting with our Source, from which and in which we have our being. When this awakening comes, then one is no longer "wasting time" nor "filling time," for life will be lived with full awareness of timelessness and the non-separation of all beings. I am Sirius

Answer 4

Yes, you are, because if you are trying to fill you time then you must perceive it as empty.. which it never is, time is a river and it flows through infinity without stopping or slowing; only the currents beneath the surface change, but they never stop moving nor does time slip by. If you are in the river you will be carried along at the same pace your whole life. Only the time-stopping events that you record in your memories can seem to have tha effect of making time stand still, but that is an illusion.

Answer 5

Nope! You're just moving forward in time that's all. And you are going into the future at the same rate as everyone else on earth.
The time that is slipping away on you is going by at an incredible speed of 60 seconds per minute, 60 times an hour.

Answer 6

The words in your question, reminds me of lyrics to some British new wave song.

Anyway back onto the subject... In my opinion time never ends, even after death as in after we've had a funeral for a dear friend, family member or pet.
Life doesn't stop even though we're depressed and grieving for awhile, we still carry on because that's life.

The only time I have really wasted my time is when I've procrastinated about something because I was nervous and scared, but still in the end I ended the procrastination when the time was right.

So yes that's my two cents on this subject.

Answer 7

Here I don't try to get the best answer because I'm going to tell you about my life.
I'm wasting my time with people – they make me nervous. I love my loneliness, so my time gets wasting if I keep filling it with some superficial persons; the result, my time just slips away and I must to eclipse myself or run away from this ambiguity.

Answer 8

Yes. Though somebody says time never ends, our lives do.
We only have a set amount of time, let it be fate or otherwise, that we can use. If you spend your life in prison for a crime you have committed, would you not be wasting the precious time you have been bestowed upon?

Answer 9

Time as we know is always moving forward, if you enjoy what you do and it adds value to your life and others it's not wasted, just make the most of it time stands still for no man.

Answer 10

I don't call it wasting. I'm doing my duty and time is being true to its nature. Both are duty-bound in the only way we know.....and so, this life will end and start anew...in another time, another era, another birth...duties never end, the karmic cycle continues till my maker deems it fit to embrace me in his heart....till then I'll keep filling.
