Laziness and Everything About Being Lazy

Is laziness as bad as people make it out to be? Or does it have its good moments?

How I see it is that there are two kinds of lazy people. The kind that are too lazy to work so they do nothing, and the kind that are too lazy to do hard work, so they find a way to make the work easy. These are the kind of people that create the technology that we have today. Are you too lazy to walk? Bike. Are you too lazy to ride a bike? Car. Are you too lazy to write? Keyboard. The list goes on and on and anyone can think of more examples.

Lazy has founded a town in Poland believe it or not. Even though being lazy didn't name it. The founders did name the town Lazy. In fact, there are many towns names Lazy in Poland. However, the pronunciation is different in their country.

Every internet scam plays on the weakness that people have of being lazy. "Do no work and get rich." If only, right?

Some one could be too lazy to do something good, but they can be even lazier and be too lazy to do something bad.

Lazy means: averse or disinclined to work, activity, or exertion; indolent
