Is being lazy morally wrong? (sin, faith, holidays)

Actually, I have no problem starting something. I have a lot of problems keeping it going. I get too bored too easily with just one thing.

I don't know what a "moral" is, but being lazy is wrong in a society.

Maybe it's morrally wrong when you are suppossed to be doing something but you just put it off because you don't feel like doing it.Like if a father who should be providing for his family just sits around the house while his wife does all the providing.In a case like that I think it is wrong.

AJ, you crazy atheist you! So tell me, a full and frank explanation, why is it 'wrong'? And what does 'wrong' actually mean???

I dont think anything is wrong generally, because I have yet to understand fully what 'wrong' means (hopefully AJ is going to help me on this), but i think if you believe that, in general, kids shouldnt be working in sweat shops in Thailand (or wherever), people shouldnt be getting blown up for stupid reason in Ireland, the drugs trade shouldnt be thriving so gracefully in schools, and the people on the Indian Ocean coast should get their homes back from the tsunami, and you basically would, if you could, reverse all the things you consider to be 'bad' with the world, then to not do your utmost to relieve these things is first-order hypocrisy.

Not that im saying hypocrisy is 'bad' (because i still dont know what it means), it just annoys me in other people (because it is related to illogical arguments, which i innately cant stand for some reason), and i try hard not to be a hypocrite.

I mean, you can't hurt too many people if you never leave your home, right? I know after New Years I'll kick it in gear again and try to get my energy levels up, but this time of year, with the holidays and cold weather, I just never seem to want to do anything.

If you are not taking care of other priorities, I would say it is. Other then that, I'm guessing you are learning and growing in the forum and would exclude sloth.
