The Hard Work of being Lazy





At odds with a society that values busyness, equating with success, vitality and oddly, supremacy. It took a decline in health to force me into learning the art of doing nothing...I knew as an introvert the necessity for time out, slowing down but pressures both internally formed from childhood conditioning and externally won out until they could no longer. After over 10 years I'm still struggling with being 'lazy', a lingering whisper keeps me thinking I'm less than worthy if not being productive, making money....as if production profits the maker more than the 'owner of property'. The word itself is suggestive of weakness, ineptitude or uncaring attitude when in reality and if for the reasons explained in the video, it's healthier, inducing creativity, deeper understanding than appearing to know we are in innovatively in control, of value when we are instead running the treadmill to nowhere worth being other than to have the story of busyness to tell.
