Classification of laziness

extract fron Wisdom of  the Ants

There are those who do no work at all, there are those  that start a work but will not complete the work, there are  those whose work have some considerable success as soon attain a little high or feat, get tired and relax the effort.

Every one has tendency to display laziness at one time or the other. It shall be  worrisome when laziness becomes a life style. even though  occasional, it does not  rule out possible havoc that can emanate from the permission.

1-      Perpetual laziness: It is the most dangerous type of laziness. This is a situation when some have developed habit to desire to survive without working. Such seems to be sick of working despite desire to live.  Such people have signed an MoU with poverty and embarrassment.  Proverbs 13:4 The appetite of the sluggard craves but gets nothing, but the desire of the diligent will be abundantly satisfied.

Proverbs 10:4-5 Lazy hands bring poverty, but hard-working hands lead to wealth. Whoever harvests during summer acts wisely, but the son who sleeps during harvest is disgraceful.

. Proverbs 20:4 The slacker does not plow during planting season; at harvest time he looks, and there is nothing.

2-      Occasional laziness; There are very diligent people who for some reason display occasional laziness.  It may be encourage by procrastination, discouragement, depression, distractions, disappointment and satisfaction with the present achievement.  While relaxing or retreating may be necessary and strategic in dealing with stress and other issues, a prolong downtime lifestyle is not good, just the same way it is not healthy for a manufacturing machine, it is also not healthy for a life.

3-      Half-job laziness this group of people lack the ability to  start a work well and but for some reason always lack the will or desire to bring the work to completion. Proverbs 12:27 The lazy do not roast any game, but the diligent feed on the riches of the hunt. Roasting the game will increase the value. The value of the processed product will be greater than the raw materials. Most African nation are in this list. Produce many raw material but lack the will to introduce and develop means of adding values to our primary efforts. We will need to deliberately with determination confront and conquer this!

Proverbs 19:15 Laziness throws one into a deep sleep, and an idle person will go hungry

4-      Achievement- complaisant laziness : some have made some level of progress however grow satisfied of what and where they are so do not see any need to keep the pursuit. They grow tired of vision and goal. They get the game but will not roast.  They will not increase the value of what they have now.
