#laziness

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

I have some thoughts about somebody posting recently about #laziness being a term invented by capitalists to describe a symptom with a wide variety of underlying causes. For me, climate grief manifests as laziness sometimes.

We should coopt capitalist terms, just like they coopt all progressive terms to the point of meaninglessness e.g. sustainability. So, let's make laziness a big positive thing.

Laziness is anti-work. Less work is good for a warming planet. Laziness is sustainability!

A #bully believes that because he was beaten up by someone stronger, it's only fair that he gets to beat up someone weaker. A compassionate person believes no one should ever get beaten up. This is the true difference between #right and #left mindsets.

There is another type of right that believes that if everyone just left each other alone and let them do their own thing then everyone would do the right thing. A realist knows that someone will always have a lucky advantage over others and begin to aquire more power than others and use that power to rig the system against others. The only through collective feelings own ownership and community can we police each other to keep each other's worst tendencies at bay.

People on the right believe that only fear prevents laziness, and believe the left is naive that letting everyone have a basic floor of protection/safety net will ensure that people will use it as a hammock and be lazy. The left actually knows that "laziness" is a myth. A mix of depression caused by manufactured want, the lack of desire to work for someone else without merit, and psychological exhaustion of having to constantly grind just to survive. They use the bolshevic agrarian coops as their example where everyone got paid the same no matter how hard they worked oblivious to everyone else under communism who got paid more after their quota was filled and were no lazier than people in capitalist nations. The most productive people are those who work for themselves or have ownership in the outcome of success. A healthy brain is not lazy, only one exhausted and abused by the powerful beating them up become lazy because they see no true freedom.

There is a final kind of right is one that believes that those with power are superior, and therefore more ethical. Either through divine right or intellectual merit, they deserve that power so it shouldn't be questioned because they know better than us. A left mind knows that power corrupts absolutely and isolates the powerful from reality and suffering of others. They are the least to be trusted, and the less imbalance of power and the more collective power weilded, the less bullies are able to exist in the first place to pass along their toxic ideas.

Oh gee, it is 29 minutes to mealtime and Ben is already barking while Charlie is in here bugging me. I won't be intimidated though, mealtime is mealtime.

It is Saturday, two days after rain, perfect time to mow the grass. My mower is in the shop and I'm hoping they will expedite the repair. I have a walk behind mower, but the lawn area is nearly two acres.

Twenty some years ago, I would use lawn day as an exercise day and spend hours pushing my little lawnmower up and down a hill in my 'then' backyard. But now, the laziness has taken me, hard. Well, I'm not a young man in my 50s anymore.

Good morning, friends.

I'm just taking my first sip of coffee. I've got to get up and feed the dogs in about 10 minutes. They insist on breakfast at a certain time, you know. I'm still a little sleepy and want to close my eyes and drift on back to sleep. But I'm sure Charlie will just come and wake me, I'm surprised that he's not here already.

Okay, that's done. I've been extraordinarily lazy lately. I don't want to get out and do anything that I need to do. It doesn't help that I just subscribed to Paramount+ which has series that need watching. I usually leave the TV off until sometime in the late afternoon. But then it's couch potato time. I need to stop. :)

Getting Older vs. Getting Old

GETTING OLDER, a chance to get WISER

What it means to me: I have a past with loves and losses, I became mom, I dreamt, learnt, read books, met extraordinary people… All these made me, and still make me, happy though my life wasn’t, and still isn’t, a happy one.
