Laziness Quotes

“there are also deeper forces behind our resistance to rethinking. questioning ourselves makes the world more unpredictable, it requires us to admit that the facts may have changed, that what was once right may now be wrong. reconsidering something we believe deeply can threaten our identities, making it feel as if we’re losing a part of ourselves. rethinking isn’t a struggle in every part of our lives, when it comes to our obsessions, we update with fervour, we refresh our wardrobes when they go out of style, and renovate our kitchens when they’re no longer in Vogue. when it comes to our knowledge and opinions though, we tend to stick to our guns. psychologists call this ceasing and freezing. we favour the comfort of conviction over the discomfort of doubt and we let our beliefs brittle long before our bones”

“...in those days (the 19th century) the children sometimes had to walk miles to school. And I mean miles. Have any of you walked even so much as one mile? I doubt it. Not that I blame you . Why walk when you can go wherever you want in a streetcar or a bus? Only stupid people walk when they can ride. Isn't that right? Isn't that what people are always telling you? Feet were invented before wheels, but so what? Getting somewhere on wheels is more comfortable, and that's what progress is all about, isn't that so? But is comfort all that good? Doesn't comfort maybe make us lazy? That's something to think about isn't it? What I mean is--we all want to accomplish something. That's the secret of what everything's all about--this business of wanting to accomplish something. But if everything is made too easy for us, how can we accomplish? I mean really accomplish. The more things we have helping us, the harder the accomplishing. We get too spoiled. We give up too easily...”

“But we are curious about the result, just as we are curious about the way a book turns out. We do not want to know anything about the anxiety, the distress, the paradox. We carry on an esthetic flirtation with the result. It arrives just as unexpectedly but also just as effortlessly as a prize in a lottery, and when we have heard the result, we have built ourselves up.”

“If automating everything makes people lazier and lazier, and laziness leads to stupidity, which it does for most people, judging by the current content circulating the social networks everywhere, except North Korea, where they don’t have any internet to speak of - at some point the Japanese robots, for which a market niche is currently being developed, with no concerns on how they should be designed to act in society or outside it - will have no choice, but to take everything over, to preserve us from ourselves…”

“Forbid statements like “will God ever meet me?”, “am I worthy of his blessings?”, “I am not sure God will bless me”, “what shows that I am blessed?”. These statements clearly tell that you are not aware of who you are in the first place.”

“people fear sobriety because without booze, you’re forced to see Clockwork Orange style that you’re bad at relationships, and bad at vulnerability, and bad at honesty, and your rants about life’s injustices are generally not cute. and if you see all that you have to give up the dream that some brave soul is gonna show up and extend themselves to you even though your arms are crossed and your back is turned. you have to stop pretending and actually start earning your keep, it’s basic human math, you gotta bring something to the table, you can’t just show up empty-handed and expect to be fed.”

“Întotdeauna am avut grijă să am o grijă. Sunt omul care s-a culcat și s-a trezit cu griji. Simt grijile după pielea care mă strânge și gâtul care se-nfundă. Când mai scap de câte o grijă, umerii își amintesc că există spațiu de sprijin pentru spate. La școală grijile mele sunt ale mele, iar grijile celorlalți sunt tot ale mele. De aceea, multă vreme am fost văzută în școală ca doamna cu liste: peste tot unde mergeam eram cu lista în față, în cazul în care mai apare ceva să notez ca să nu uit. În plan conștient, listele erau oaza mea de control, iar în subconștient, în somn, îmi măcinam dinții și dezvoltasem ticuri puțin observabile: așezatul ochelarilor pe nas, atingerea bărbiei, verificatul urechilor. Am crescut o alergie față de colegii care stăteau: nu suportam să îi văd lâncezind la discuții superficiale sau la fumoar. Oamenii aceștia nu păreau să aibă griji, deci nu munceau, așadar nu existau. Nu terminam un proiect că deja mă gândeam la următorul, încât devenisem dependentă, fără să știu, de făcutul a ceva, ajungând să pun cât mai multe pe listă, ca să fiu văzută și ca să îmi justific pâinea.”

“Has the world, and not just its people, lost its soul through immobility, laziness, and living a zombified half-life doomscrolling through virtual reality? Is our own ‘intelligence’ becoming more and more artificial as we literally ossify in front of our screens? If you’re having trouble answering such questions, maybe you should ask Siri.”
