Laziness is definitely a negative energy, a strong negative action, actually. I see two kinds of laziness, Eastern laziness and Western laziness. I have Eastern laziness. If I get a nice cup of tea and a nice, warm little spot with maybe a nice book to read, I will sit there and won't move!... Western laziness is busy-ness. You Westerners don't have that problem of sitting idle. You don't want to sit idle, unless you are sick. If you sit on the bed, people will ask, "Are you sick?" If you don't move, they presume you are sick. Western laziness is to keep yourself so busy you don't do what you are supposed to do.

Chronic laziness may have an evolutionary basis: Consider our homo erectus forebears' need to covet calories (or just look at a cat). But we live in an age of plenty and the reflex to avoid work has become more dangerous than the risk of running out of fuel.
