A waisted life ...
That seems to me like some ones opinion.
Personally only: why would I take some one else's opinion on my own effort ? What connection does this opinion have to me . Currently none , but there are those in our path every day who have those type of opinions and who have the value difrent that that of others. I remember a word or look crumbled everything I had in my hand, regardless of where or when it came . That time is no more for me personally . My goal. One of them, is to share this idea that a waisted life is an opinion , only valid if we allow. Not only with this idea but with many . What constitutes a waisted life ? The identification of some one calling a life waisted I guess... Some one who believes it . A waisted life is waisted when it's , well waisted by the individual , my aim is to move beyond that and show others there are ways around it . May the Force find you where u seek it ! I'm a pm away if ever u need me

Thank you Carlos, That was very good. Perhaps, it does lay personally on the shoulders of the individual. Take away third party opinions and focus on your own. Ask yourself, "Have I wasted my life?" "Do I feel that I should of done something more with my life?" "Did I do everything and be everything that I wanted to be?" and so on...fill in the blanks.

To the first question, yes.
A wasted life is one that was never given the chance to be. Life is a beautiful gift and most of us cannot fathom our full potential. But it is the journey itself which gives the life meaning and not the destinations. So if one lives and experiences, they are, the life can never be wasted. But if life is snuffed out before the journey can begin, it is a waste of a life.
And to the last question, no one has the right to judge another’s experiences. To pass judgment on another’s experience based on one’s own speculation and opinion of another is to rob that person of the truth of their experience. It is a theft of truth (knowledge) and security; and, by that measure it is not only not a right, but it is a moral sin according to natural law.

Do you believe that one's life can be wasted? What would constitute a wasted life?
Do we have the right to deem someone else's personal time or life wasted?
