Why Being Lazy IS A Good Thing.
Seamus over at Rebel Zen had a kickin’ post about Laziness as a Virtue.
10 Reasons Why Being a Lazy Dude is Actually a Good Thing
By Seamus Anthony
I have always been a very Lazy Dude, and in fact I come from a long line of them. But the way I see it, laziness is in fact a Godly virtue.
Can’t say I agree 100% with all of the points, but I’m too lazy to decide what my reasoning is for that.
(However, I especially agree with Points Ocho, Niner, and Ten. Good stuff.)
We make a Virtue of “getting after it”…. being a “hard-charger” and all that shit AND all that shit entails. For what? (More like for whom. ) Before you answer, “The Man”, think about this. We might do it because we think it is expected of us by everyone else. The point is, we may value “hard-charging” as a Virtue without giving thought to why we value it.
And what’s wrong with that?? Questioning shit means it might not stand up to scrutiny, don’tcha know. The whole of Creation might collapse if someone realizes “the Emperor is butt-ass nekkid”. Don’t question shit, Dude!
Here’s the deal. We might be missing out because we are trying to please those who, like us, wish they could be a lazy-ass. Could be, everyone wants to “take it easy”, but is afraid that by taking it easy they will let down all the other people who secretly want to take it easy, too. We might also fear that by “taking it easy”, someone who wants to “grind it out” might get ahead of us. Can’t have that can we?
Shit. That would make it all about fear. Could be that fear is propping up the system, Dude!
Somewhere an old, uptight white-dude is laughing his arse off. (That would be “The Man”.)
