(sound familiar? It's been part of the lexicon about obesity since forever) What I would like you to focus on instead is the meaning of the word. It is likely from the German " lasich, " meaning to be feeble. The world " lazy " is also related to the High German " erleswen " which means 'to become weak.' You ask what would cause laziness? Ask what enfeebles your spirit? what causes you to become weak in spirit? The issue, to my mind, in my truly two cent's worth, is an issue of spirit--the animating force in all human beings. You ask what is the cure? The " cure " (although I am almost certain as a shrink that only hams can be cured--the rest of us have to keep working things out over time with the best guidance we can get) is to reverse the weakening influences, to mediate whatever is causing something that ought be moderaely to very strong to instead become frail. hint # 24957: For mots people it is self-talk that diminishes them so. just my two cent's worth. To my mind, almost anthing can be made better to lots better if you don't leave attention to your spirit and your soul's need s out of it. love, ceep G-MOM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the Greek definition much better, easier to deal with. The worst experience I had with the word lazy was having a PA and several nurses accuse me of being lazy and if I would just get off my butt and walk 5 miles a day, I would be fine. Never mind it was taking every ounce of energy just to get out of bed and get dressed or to walk across the room. I weighed 479 lb, had congestive heart failure and COPD when this was said to me and about me to a patient advocate. I actually had to bring an attorney to my last office visit to be admitted to the hospital. Needless to say, I have a new physician now. Lori Owen - Denton, Texas CHF 4/14/01 479 lbs.
