Angus R asked in Family & RelationshipsFamily · 1 decade ago

What would you determine as being a life wasted ?.?

Myself a life where one does not learn from their mistakes but keeps repeating them over and over again.

Update:

I was just asking what others perspective was of a wasted life. I saw a movie called " the remains of the day" where being a butler was seen as a waste of life, and one of missed opportunities. thanks

    Oh yes, I have a brother who I feel has wasted his life in nothing.

    Hes been a troublemaker since he was 12 yrs old. Became an

    alcoholic by the time he was 17 and drug addict, now hes 40 some/g

    still a trroublemaker,alcoholic drinks like 40 beers a day, just keeps

    making the same mistakes, how can somebody live like that.

    Life has givin him many chances, good jobs but cause of drinking hes

    lost them. I think if he doesnt change soon, he will die young.

    No. Depends what you've done. Making mistakes just makes you human. A life wasted is those who don't value life and how short it is. Those who experiement with drugs, and who are generally horrible people. You can normally pick them in the crowd. Standing with attitude; pretending as tho they rule when really they are the loosers who know they've lost. Lost in life and in the world. U do not sound like a waste, u sound sorry and regretful. Turn your life around and make a difference. You still have time. ;)

    "Myself a life where one does not learn from their mistakes but keeps repeating them over and over again."... SOUNDS LIKE HUMAN HISTORY RIGHT!?!

    A WASTE OF LIFE IS WHEN A PERSON DOSENT CONTRIBUTE HIS/HER PART TO THE HUMANITY!
