Why Must Be Lazy?

Humans are basically lazy. I myself am a lazy person. I'm not telling you are lazy, but I maybe right. You are lazy too.

Something should be done by this laziness. Laziness will always comes first before everything. Only our willingness that drive us away from being trapped by laziness. There is no specific solution for laziness, whereas laziness actually is a mindset that can never be thrown away. Just like fear.

When we see a hardworking person, he/she is actually being driven by his/her willing, in which the willing comes from motivations; extrinsic, intrinsic, positive, negative or by each and every one of them. Or by fear itself.

Laziness comes when we are given a problem to solve. It's a matter of choice. Do it, or not at all. If we do it, then the problem will be solved. If not, the problem will still be there without nobody to deal with it. Solving problem involves thinking. This is the core of laziness: thinking. Thinking is the only thing that moves humans around. If humans think, they move. Otherwise, they don't.

Why must be lazy? Some said there are many factors. But for me, there is only one. Because people don't want to think. People who don't want to think are called "Ignorant" (whereas "stupid" is too harsh). They simply don't care what are happening around.

There's one issue: what happen to a will when a body can't go along with the will? Easy. Human body will collapse. Humans will fall asleep, they will take a nap. But what about a long sleep? That is subjective. Some people have their mind and body collapse at the same time. Resting the mind is different with resting the body. Body is a system where muscles are joint together with bones. Mind is a brain, where it controls itself and also body system. Imagine how hard our mind is working. Some people just want to extend their rest, in which resulted an over-rested system. Over-rested system will take a longer time to warm up and of course, longer time to pick up. Then humans will lag, and laziness comes striking our will.

Helping a human in curing his/her laziness needs a hell of a time. Laziness won't go away easily. Motivations should come along, to the client and also to the motivator. I am actually trying to help myself and also some pupils of mine to keep up the motivation to learn Mathematics. Since Mathematics is essential to the pupils, I found Maths is also important to me. The problem here is, how to put out these pupils' laziness? They simply don't want to think a solution for each problem given to them. Instead, they are relying 10000% (I mean "one thousand") on me to solve the problems. If I was helping them 10000%, then I am ruining them. They will keep their laziness at bay, and always hoping that there will be a person who pick their hands to walk along their life. Most Malaysian children are experiencing this I'm sure. I fear that their future will be tainted by "answers" only, rather than "how we could come to the conclusion".
