Waste your life? I wonder what that means? I've done things that people tell me are amazing and wonderful and they wish they had had the ability to do them but it doesn't make me feel great. Even when I was doing them there was always and underlying sadness in me.
I suppose its worth saying that one can perform whatever kind of activities, live whatever kind of lifestyle and not be satisfied. "Wasting life away" refers more to the majority as I perceive it (all subjective speculation), most people it seems never really try to turn the corner.
I'm never completely satisfied either and consider much of my time to have been wasted, overall things are great but that core of death anxiety never disappears, and those days spent in misdirections don't reappear.

Yeah it sucks man. I know I'm fairly balanced but it doesn't seem like it would take much to throw it off at any given point. I don't have much meaning in my life so I'm almost entirely dependent on beneficial circumstances. I've come to find that others are kinder towards me than I am to myself. Aging will likely be very unkind to me.
How old are you now?

Well I'm 24, maybe 30 years from now the shroomery will still be up and we can post updates on our psychology. It would be interesting to hear a lot of these ethno-shaman-alien-Jesus guys coming back on and commenting in their old age

Icelander said: that most subjects that humans deal with, in the sense of discussions or actions aimed at working them out or resolving them mostly act on the surface of the issue, ignoring the core of the matter and so purposely, however possibly unconsciously, obfuscating the matter so as not to ever resolve it. 
Just sayin
I've brought up the diversionary nature of logic in various existential threads. Most resolution is desired through victory or defeat of ideas, and the primacy of characterizing experience through hierarchy is pervasive. My philosophy tends to look 'beyond' that without needing mysticism to back anything up. Acceptance is really just a lack of concern.

I've found this to be mostly true. Depressed individuals tend to have some very realistic views of themselves and subsequently have a hard time finding meaning in their life. It's the illusionary self that seems to be full of meaning. The future self, the better self, the self that doesn't even exist and is in the clouds 
Could well be true for the majority of people, if you waste your life away there's little reason to be happy about it.
Maybe your life is wasted only if you consider it as wasted.

I'm saying people would rather play the game and win or loose than not play at all. The philosophical mind sees the games, but they get played all the same and that logic is ultimately a futile endeavor which makes it especially ridiculous in judging existential questions.

[gradient:#F00C85,#29CDFF]I feel as Humans we find a need to try and deal with other peoples problems. To not have to deal with the core issues with self. Core problems all ways starts with self. So why not but in on others lives. To not deal with the core issues.[/gradient]

Do you mean that you judge others based on your personal beliefs or opinions of what constitutes a worthwhile life?
Your opinion of another's life doesn't necessarily effect the others perception of their life.
