Sloth

So I'm going to be on holiday for the foreseeable future which is a few months. Even though I'm not Christian, I can understand why Sloth is one of the seven deadly sins (not the animal sloth like Sid from Ice Age, no no). Sloth, I suppose is olden day English for laziness since sloths seem extremely slow. I actually have a lot of things planned... in my head. I have no idea when I'm going to get around to actually doing them.

I want to cook, read, play piano but so far all I've done is... huh, I haven't done anything of note unless changing my cats' litter box counts. I need to get a part-time job but so lazy and procrastinating. Laziness is probably one of the biggest enemies of the human race because when you're doing nothing important, you're wasting time, time we don't get back.

There's a joke on the internet, it says "Tomorrow: a magical place where 99% of human potential is". Thing is, tomorrow might never come because the hands of time are never on our side.

One day while writing a short story in college I noticed an ant scurrying on my desk with a scrap of food. I picked it up with a piece of paper and placed it elsewhere.

Later I felt something crawl up my leg. Same ant, so I decided to help it find its nest. After 3 tries it found its colony in a tiny crack in the wall.

I thought “you finally made it little guy”. Maybe we are all that “little guy”. Like the ant, sometimes we get lost (realist) but sometimes there are kind people to help show the way or even carry you there (romanticist)

Just my opinion though.
