Is it considered being lazy when you're doing things you want to do? Participating in activities that give you great enjoyment, even if society tells you that you shouldn't be doing these things? If I spend hours scouring the Internet when I "should" be grading papers, am I the dictionary definition of lazy? If so, why? I'm having a wonderful time on the Internet. I'm learning some important things. I read about Richard Nixon. That's useful right? Especially as a social studies teacher. Do I deserve to chastised? Did I do wrong? Or at least no good? One man's laziness is another man's exercise (or something like that.) Where is that line drawn? It should be a wholly personal decision. If you feel guilt about not accomplishing as much as you may have wanted, then you are being lazy. It's not dependent on society's moods and swoons. The proverbial "they" cannot tell you how to feel.
I wrote this post in second person. I think the "you" is myself. I'm trying to validate a wasted weekend. Hmm...
