LAZINESS.......(yawn !!)



Lazy as I am to write this post, I must do it for the enlightenment and general welfare of the happily ignorant people who refrain from anything or anyone lazy.

Laziness for me, is the 'ability' to do little or no work yourself but get the work done somehow.
Some call it sluggishness, some call it slothfulnes.I like to call it indolence, it makes my laziness seem classy.Whatever people say, for me laziness is a virtue.Who would want do all the work when you can just postpone it or dump it on somebody else.I mean, why pick the fruit from a tree when somebody can do it for you?.


Laziness is inherent to us humans,for that matter all living beings.Ever since the ancient times, lazy people have shaped and reshaped the course of history.
If it weren't for the laziness of God, we would have had more people( than just Adam and Eve)to start the human race.
If it weren't for the sloppiness ofThetis,Achilles would have had a better heel to show.
The tv, the radio, the telephone,.... they are all manifestations of our laziness.The revolutionary internet owes it's origin to the laziness of our postal department.And how lazy must one be to order food to their home !
I could go on and on and on, if it weren't for my own laziness.
The point is laziness ,as i said, is inherent in us.It is even in our genetic code, but only too lethargic to show up.

The great philosopher Kevinus Intellectus was an ardent admirer of laziness.He quotes in his book, Confessions Of A Bumbling Moron,

Of the many ways of doing a given piece of work, the laziest is the easiest.

This is popularly known as the law of laziness or (ironically) l o l !!

I myself am a gr8 fan of his works and nothing defines my life like lol. Infact, contrary to popular opinion, i find laziness quite useful.For one thing, u can cultivate the healthy habit of procrastination, the best part of which is that u have nothing to do today...(how good is that !!).
For another, u don't have to think about tomorrow, or the next day or, the day after that- life suddenly seems much simpler, doesn't it ?
And admit it, if Newton wasn't lazy enough to wait for the apple to come to him,science would have come to a standstill !!

There's a lot more to tell u actually, but i can't do that much work.I'll let u find it out yourself.

So, until next time, lay back, relax, let nature and time do their job and don't forget;
Laziness is a virtue and those who tell u otherwise are clearly lacking it.

Yours slothfully,
Kevin.
