I have a friend who calls my playing pickup bball a waste of time. He's always saying, "Are you going to go waste 2 hours of your life again?" everytime I go to the park. He says it tongue in cheek, but he's not athletic so he doesn't understand why people play sports.
And not understanding is the main giveaway of close-minded people. Not to say that if you don't understand something that you're close-minded, it's when you don't understand something or refuse to understand something on the other side of the spectrum that's really no different than what you're doing or believe in. Those people can't see the bigger picture, the picture that you think something I do is a waste of time, and I WOULD think something you do is a waste of time but I know you're doing it for your own reasons and personal enjoyment, and doing something that makes you happy as long as it's not excessively can and should never be viewed as a waste of time. My brain feels like it's suffocating when I try to wrap around my head why someone would ever think otherwise, but I'm a very logical person and a lot of people who would disagree aren't.
It's just a contradictory way of thinking, thinking "nothing I do that makes me happy is a waste of time, but that thing that you do that makes you happy is a waste of time" IE being close-minded.
