I think you are just lazy, and there is no problem with that. Anyway, laziness is a sin, and some philosophers classify this sin as "the loss of taste for life", which is not good for you.

Sins are a social construct. Laziness is a state of being that many people aspire to, but few can realistically achieve without serious detriment.


Oh no! Not all sins are a "social construct". But I do agree with the rest of your post. True laziness with a degree of comfort and lack of anxiety is quite difficult.


> Not all sins are a "social construct".

Yes, even those sins where the social construction of them as sins has some social utility are social constructs.
