Lazy...

Give us the best definition of "lazy" you'll allow yourself to get away with...before it's "too much", but to where you're not right with being shamed for it.

         

         

         

         

         

         

Lazy, eh? I've been counselled not to name names by those who understand the legalese of libel/ slander. Apparently, it's perfectly acceptable to describe, label, and disparage these same people as long as they are unaware of it, and I don't reveal their identities. But the whole point is that they are lazy. If they had to lift a finger, or feign interest then they wouldn't be lazy.

          I define lazy as those disinclined to do anything, or become involved. These souls are reluctant to expend energy, or effort unnecessarily. They refuse to step up and step out. Their get up and go got up and went.

         They are not concerned in the least with self-motivation, self improvement, or self-maintenance. Their attitude is one of why bother. The lazy are loathe to exert themselves. Perhaps they are allergic to perspiration.

         I appreciate the bluntness of the elderly. Just spit out what you want to say, political correctness be damned. Years ago, I heard an older gentleman pronounce judgement on a group of male teenagers lounging/lolling on a park bench. Who's to say that these young men were authentically lazy, but the man of enhanced years seemed to think they were. I nearly drowned sipping my coffee when I heard his mutterings. "As useless as tits on a bull." ( Maybe he actually said, "teats"?) "Look at them shithawks. ( TRANSLATION: seagulls ) All they're good for is stuffing their faces, shitting, and squawking."

         Lazy evokes the memory of a co-worker, and at the risk of repeating myself, I shall not name him. The word reluctant describes him 'cause he made no effort, period. He was a slovenly dresser, often wearing the same stained, torn clothing for days on end. Oh, he was a talker, a motor mouth, but he had a very limited repertoire of stories. He repeated the same ones over and over, day after day. He made no effort to talk about something else. He preferred to loiter at the back door, and smoke endless cigarettes. He displayed no initiative whatsoever. If not directed, he did nothing .Ah, Cr.... OOPs!

         Of course, I do not see myself as lazy. Who has time to be lazy? I'm always busy with things, multiple things. I'm a fan of multi-tasking because there are only so many hours in a day. Even when I sit and read, I am occupying my mind, entertaining myself, and conducting a writer's research.
