Laziness and the lack of integrity

Ahhhh…. *deeeep deep breathe

LAZINESS, the classics quality that literally everyone has.

The signs of being lazy is very clear and we, ourselves, see it first, but most of the time, wouldn’t care to care about it, and that’s the only reason why the laziness keeps on increasing. Laziness can be prevented, but cannot be banished from any of our lives, nature just doesn’t allow that to happen. It can only be decreased or increased, and if you’re lucky enough to have that ability and to use it however/whenever/wherever you want, then you must have either put in so much effort or was given by God as a gift. Laziness is insanely addictive, people don’t really know that, but it’s in our nature and we live with it. It can be very dangerous, and can also be very very useful if you stop it.

Laziness is just the bridge to the disaster that always happened to us, the fact that we know that we’re lazy, but still deny the fact and go on slacking off as if nothing has happened; that’s the lack of integrity. Integrity has a lot of meanings, some are very deep, some are simple, but here’s how I understand it. You see… Integrity is like a function in our minds, they are in everyone’s, and it has been automatically used no matter we like it or not. Integrity works like a mirror, you see what you’re doing, mostly the things that are wrong and has to be changed right away, and when you are not willing to accept the mistakes and fix it when you see it right in front of you, that’s the lack of integrity; lying your mind that it is okay to delay, to postpone, to cancel, to “let’s do it next time”. 

To be very honest, it happens to everyone, including myself, in many many cases as well. But what’s good about it is that it never goes away, it’s like a very stubborn kid throwing tantrums at you until you get either the point or just do what the kid says just to relieve the annoyance; in either case, you win, all the time!

That kid will always be there, waiting to fight with you, never for you, unless you have so much integrity. Sometimes, you just have to listen to that kid, although most of the time you wouldn’t like to do so, but you know… maybe the ice-cream is really the key to everything.
