Guilt

[Twilight_of_the_Idol (Twilight of the Idols)]

The vast majority of my message board time has been spent at a sports/video game forum.

I feel terrible about this.

I “should” be here, no?

I don’t know, Imp. Hedonism? It just seems like if I’m going to “waste time” on the internet, it should be at a place like this. It’s the same basic problem I have with television: why do I watch South Park or college football when I could watch Book TV, C-Span or PBS? Doing what I ‘like’ implies and imposes a certain laziness that I despise in myself. I understand we need a certain amount of leisure in our lives, yet it seems there are good ways to be leisurely and bad ways.

@realunoriginal

Anybody who asks a question like that “should” be on a philosophy forum.

Well I don’t know that I’d take it that far, but I appreciate the gesture.

it shouldn’t.

you have to figure that one out… but the choice is always going to be which one you want to do…
