I consider myself a lazy person, in fact I'm probably the laziest person I know.
I often do work last minute, don't bother start doing things I know I don't understand, I almost always try to make shortcuts when dealing with things i don't like, and yet not one In my life has ever tell me I was lazy.
that's because laziness is neutral
of course depending on the person that could me a lot of things, It might seem like nonsense or a statement that's to vague but whether you like it or not, this line I came up with one the spot randomly holds a weight.
laziness defined by the oxford languages is as followed:
'the quality of being unwilling to work or use energy; idleness.'
really think about what that means, there isn't any negative or positives about this line. yet again and again I always here people say that laziness is bad and only use the term in that context.
what people fail to realise what being lazy is like.
Laziness is like a different way to see the world
you see things in the perspective of doing the least amount of effect, It's how you apply that idea makes or breaks the positives.
I can not do the school work, that's lazy.
I can also figure out a effective way todo the work without much effect, and that's still lazy.
I have been at both points of the spectrum, I'm to lazy to draw complex characters so I make simple to draw characters that accidentally follow great character design fundamentals, I also often find easy repeatable rhymes to get thought math classes that many find difficult.
but I also often don't study for tests, I often can't take stressful work loads for long as I'd just go on break to much, I'm not good a establishing new schedules to learn what i want to learn.
Of course a lot of this stuff is main effected by stress and other factors. Most people blame these problems on laziness instead of fear or stress even if it doesn't apply.
but what I want everyone to know and take away from this is this
Be Lazy with a bare minimum
because as long as you a maintain that, you'll be good.
stress may make it lower but stay determined and when the time comes set it back or higher to get what you want, you only have one life my friends so don't waste it like you're immortal.
(that's my rant over, now it's your turn to poke holes in my point of view, so have fun)
