Laziness

Sometimes I get into a pattern or a routine where I don't want to do anything, I will put off tasks that need to be done until the last moment.   This never helps me, and I find myself rushing a bunch of little jobs and playing a game of catch up with myself.

Why is it so easy to do nothing?  Why is it so easy to get fat and eat the most unhealthy food that there is on the planet?  Humans aren't the only species to have a weakness for laziness, animals will too, even wild animals.

If you feed a bear your junk food, it almost becomes like crack cocaine to the poor thing, and it will hunt down and ransack campers and residential areas to find it.

Why would we all be wired in this way?  If you stay in this mode of laziness it becomes impossible to get out of it.  Maybe we are supposed to indulge ourselves and give in to our desires. 

If cavemen did that none of us would be here right now.  Cavemen had to go out and scrounge for food to survive, there was no free handouts for them.  If they failed in their quest they died, there was no option to stay home because you had a sniffle.

I think that some people put more value on themselves than they are actually worth.  You are not worth anything unless you go out and give value to yourself.  Ever hear that saying "How can anyone love you if you don't love yourself?"

If you think you are worth more than other people say, show them, don't tell them. Better yet show yourself that you can do more than hide out by yourself in your little domicile feeling sorry for yourself and that the rest of the world doesn't understand you.  The alternative is like you being a caveman who is lazy.  We both know what happens to him.
