Laziness is a sin: everyone knows that.
We have probably all had lectures pointing out that laziness is immoral,
that it is wasteful, and that lazy people will never amount to anything in life.
But laziness can be more harmful than that,
and it is often caused by more complex reasons than the simple wish to avoid work.
Some people who appear to be lazy are suffering from much more serious problems.
They may be so distrustful of their fellow workers
that they are unable to join in any group task for fear of being laughed at
or fear of having their ideas stolen.
These people who seem lazy may be deadened by a fear of failure
that prevents fruitful work.
Or other sorts of fantasies may prevent work:
some people are so busy planning,
sometimes planning great deals of fantastic achievements,
that they are unable to deal with whateverlesser work is on hand.
Still other people are not avoiding work,strictly speaking;
they are nearly procrastinatingrescheduling their day.
Laziness can actually be helpful.
Like procrastinators,some people look lazy when they are really thinking,
planning,researching.
We should all remember that some great scientific discoverise occurred by chance.
Newton wasnt working in the orchard when the apple hit him
and he devised the theory of gravity.
All of us would like to have someone lazy build the car or stove we buy,
particularly if that laziness
were caused by the workers taking time to check each step of his work
and to do his job right.
And sometimes,being lazy, that is,
taking time off for a rest is good for the overworked students or executive.
Taking a rest can be particularly helpful to the athlete who is trying too hard
or the doctor whos simply working himself overtime too many evenings at the clinic.
So be careful when youre tempted to call someone lazy.
That person may be thinking,
resting or planning his or her next book.
