Laziness - more dangerous than other lower tendencies
In some form or other, you are all under occupation: intruders have moved in on you. Yes, all those habits that are bad for your physical and psychological health are intruders. So, there are countless occupants that humans have to deal with, all the instinctive impulses they are assailed by: jealousy, anger, bitterness, greed, gluttony, sensuality, pride, vanity, and so on. But of all the possible occupants, the most dangerous is without doubt laziness. Why? Because it grips the will. You understand what you have to do, you feel you ought to do it, but the willpower isn’t there, and as the will is the starting-point for all decision-making your vital forces are affected. But the day the mind truly understands what is beautiful and good and the heart wishes for it, the will must eventually follow. Then there is freedom!
