Deadly Sin #4

Sloth, as defined by the poets dictioary.

Definition: To have one’s soul trapped in half set concrete. Wanting to move and able to move but the effort is beyond conception and eventually desire is too. Conforming to whatever mold you happen to find yourself in out of ease. Especially pernicious as being the most comfortable of the sins. Every tragedy, every dream, every ambition can be safely ignored with nothing more than a blanket and a pillow.

Other definitions include: Laziness.

A lack of interest in living.

To have had your blood swapped with a thick thick roux.

Some slip into it for a brief reprieve from calamity, and find themselves so sluggish that they can’t ever leave.

Antonyms: Vitality, energetic, productivity.

Slothfulness only seeks to ruin hearts by stagnation. To still the waters of your mind until they can nourish nothing at all and never feel another ripple at all no matter how one seeks to disturb them.

– Vagabond Prophet
