I can’t help observing how our modern society is widely slipping into petty, useless habits, wasting precious time in gossip – a time that could be better spent in more fruitful ways. But, in the end, everybody is free to spend their time they way they prefer. Thus, for example, if they choose to devout themselves to thinking, reading and talking about other people’s (famous or not) affairs, they are free to do so. Still, I wonder: Were they aware of the fact that the precious instants they are wasting in such frivolous way will never come back, wouldn't they choose to do something more useful, more constructive, with the aim of doing something “good”, of improving the quality of their lives? Probably they wouldn’t. Or they would. Who knows?
