"We are all dust in the wind"

"We are just dancing on this world for a short time."

A million years from now, no one will know or care what you did with your life. If you do nothing, it matters only to you that you did nothing.

Go for a walk in the park. Go to a movie. Go talk to people outside of your little personal bubble, people whose lives are different from yours. Go try to catch the deluge in a paper cup, drink deeply of it and see what comes of it.

People have all kinds of needs, include things that look "stupid" to you. Many things that seem trivial to an outsider are not trivial to the person engaging in them.

I have a serious medical condition. Playing games is one of the ways I distract myself from pain and keep myself from losing my mind when I feel like hell. Game developers are as important to my quality of life as are medical breakthroughs. Entertainment is hardly a trivial need for me.

There are lots of people in pain, whether physical or emotional. So I am far from the only one who needs distraction or a way to pass the time constructively.

You seem to be getting all bent out of shape over the idea of doing something "important." Just do something. The time passes anyway, whether you did something or nothing with it.

Best of luck.
