Squandering Seaweed

Squander:  To waste something (especially money or time) in a reckless and foolish manner.

"The first thing apparent was that this world and its people were often quite wrong.  To conclude that others were wrong was as far as most of us ever got.  It is plain that a life which includes deep resentment leads only to futility and unhappiness.  To the precise extent that we permit these, do we squander the hours that might have been worth while."

Honestly, I quit paying attention after the first sentence.  That thought is enough for me to build a robust life around.  You're wrong!  Admit it!  The second sentence implies we're suppoused to get beyond this belief.  Pfffffttttt.  Pshaw.  I'm right!  Admit it!

But then I need to ponder a life of futility and unhappiness.  I need to ponder a life where I squander worthwhile things.  I'm really quite done with squandering.
