If you are wasting time, then you fear the past and the time, that you wasted. Because if wasting time was right, it would be a proud thing to do. It is usually seen by most as a sort of passive evil. That often leads to worse things.

Hopefully everyone here knows they are not God, so they also know that they do not know where they are going, and what their actions might bring them, as far as in the future. Heaven, reincarnation, I do not really care what belief system you use. However, any goodness we show, any compassion we show, seems to me to be, a scientific sign that we think there is something else. Some other higher form of thinking, that either rewards or punishes us for our actions. Or else we would act like animals.

We do act like animals when food runs out and bad times come our way. Which makes no sense, because that is when you need compassion and higher thinking most. It seems from experients done, that when a person is run down and tired they are most likely to do lower, more immoral things. Purely as a motor function, not a thought out or planed action. It is kind of like they take the least resistive path to pleasure.

My point being that people subjected to sleep deprivation, and other forms of suppression, did very embarrassing things semi consciously. When they were awake and alert, and watched their own actions they were horrified.

They were mad that they let their environment rule them, like the environment rules animals.

I have an opinion that when you die, you suddenly wake up with total knowledge of your existence, and measure your recent past actions, and decide your own fate, with the knowledge of God. But that is just my opinion. Scares the heck out of me. I am going to play dumb, haha.

And that's a truth.
