Laziness
BACK

What would be an ideal day in your opinion? Waking up early,
exercising, reaching college in time, finishing off assignments before
deadline, taking out time for doing household chores; these activities
however important, are never achieved in time as we are too lazy. Don't we
all commonly say, “I am bored”?
All great people, over many generations have cautioned us against
the ill-effects of laziness. This form of behaviour is so common that we do
not hesitate in admitting to being lazy moreover, many of us boast about it
too. However, once you know the evil effects of laziness and find simple
solutions to overcome these, I am sure all of you will resolve to get rid of this
quality of being unwilling to work despite having the ability to do so.
Dadaji used to say, “To remain lying on thorns (kanta) is called
boredom (kantado)”. In this issue, we have tried to show various facets of
this quality with ways of overcoming it. One can then decide, what would be
the better option, turning in a late submission and getting a scolding from
your teacher or completing it on time and enjoying the satisfaction of having
completed it.
Hopefully, you can relate to situations in this issue and find interesting
solutions to your problems. Jai Sat-Chit-Anand!
