One of the fellas in town told my mom that I was lazy.
And he said so laughingly.
And it was true.
That upset her.
But, knowing that town, that guy's comment was more of a compliment.
And this guy could have been making fun of Mom.
"Some people are so damn lazy ."
Who usually makes disparaging comments about so-called lazy people?
People who "work hard"?
Your competition?
Your critics?
People who rely too much on the efforts of others ?
If wisdom is a virtue,
and wisdom is when we learn from our mistakes,
then a wise person will not have to do as much as someone less experienced .
This is why we come up with sayings like "spinning your wheels" or "chasing your tail".
Lazy is not bad when it comes from wisdom.
