Sometimes I think my whole LEGO hobby is a waste of time. It’s all how you

I postulate that hobbies by their very nature are wastes of time. If they
weren’t a waste of time then they wouldn’t be hobbies. Whether or not you
attach a negative meaning to the term “waste” does not change anything.

Well, I think “waste” is a negative term. Hobbies are a way to spend time.
For me, hobbies, at their best, are a creative way for a person to express
themselves, perhaps given the fact that sometimes one’s vocation doesn’t allow
for such expression.
When I said that sometimes I thought my whole LEGO hobby was a waste of time, I
meant that sometimes I wish that I’d chosen to pursue a different hobby-- a
different means for expression.
A “waste of time” to me is unproductive work. I spend 4 hours building a
bridge, and then find it needs to be 4 studs wider and I have to tear the whole
thing up and begin again. That’s a waste of time. Measure twice, build once:-)
