Laziness is the lack of desire to perform work or expend effort. It could be considered as an exaggeration of the natural instinct to get healthy, rest, and conserve energy. What behavior is considered laziness varies according to personal and societal standards.
Laziness is considered by some Christians to be one of the seven deadly sins, though it is called sloth on the list.Feelings of laziness may be a symptom of clinical depression.
The expression "intellectual laziness" is used to describe a tendency to not ask questions or investigate thoroughly, applying a kind of mental routine (availability heuristic) or just following the crowd (herd behavior).
Traditionally, laziness is taught as one of the obstacles to awakening. There are different kinds of laziness. First, there’s the laziness of comfort orientation, we just try to stay comfortable and cozy. Then there’s the laziness of loss of heart, a kind of deep discouragement, a feeling of giving up on ourselves, of hopelessness. There’s also the laziness of couldn’t care less. That’s when we harden into resignation and bitterness and just close down.
I suppose that lazy people may be getting the most out of life, but it's hard for me to imagine how. I can't imagine not having any drive or ambition to accomplish anything, and having the desire to engage only in passive activities, always being a spectator, never acting. Laziness, in many cases, leads to poor health, low self-esteem, lack of hope, and low self-confidence, among other things that I just don't see. It also robs a person of a sense of accomplishment, a sense of self-worth, and self-development. How are you going to learn anything or pick up a new skill or develop a talent if you're too lazy to get up and do something? So I think that lazy people don't have much success in their lives.
The key to dealing with laziness is taking action, and the key to taking action is finding the motivation to do so.
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired. ~Jules Renard
Laziness travels so slowly, that Poverty soon overtakes him.
Franklin.
Laziness. Unwarranted repose of manner in a person of low degree. - Ambrose Bierce
Laziness grows on people; it begins in cobwebs and ends in iron chains. The more one has to do, the more he is able to accomplish. - Thomas Buxton
If a man will not work, he shall not eat. - Bible
I slip from workaholic to bum real easy. - Matthew Broderick
The sluggard does not plow after the season, so he begs during the harvest and has nothing. [Proverbs 20:4] - Bible
He also who is slack in his work is brother to him who destroys. [Proverbs 18:9] - Bible
Some men are so lazy they won't even feed themselves. - Bible
