Laziness Works. And The Simple

The Reason Laziness Is Rarely Pushed As A Lifestyle Option Is Down To One Simple Reason: Money. There Are Fortunes To Be Made Out Of Active Lifestyles. Gyms Charge Fees. But No One Is Going To Make Money Out Of Sleep. It Is Free.

Working Is Bad Enough In The Winter, But In The Summer It Can Become Completely Intolerable. Stuck In Airless Offices, Every Fibre Of Our Being Seems To Cry Out For Freedom. We're Reminded Of Being Stuck In Double Maths While The Birds Sing Outside.

Writing A Book Is A Brilliant Thing Because Once You've Finished It, You've Done It, And There's The Potential For It To Go On Earning You A Living Without You Doing Any More Work On It. It's Absolutely Ideal For An Idler.

Little Things Like Making Clothes, Baking Bread, Cooking, Even Useless Things Like Bird-watching, Sketching Flowers, Playing Guitar In The Home - That Sort Of Time Is Gone. And The Time We Have? We're So Exhausted, We Want To Let Ourselves Get Sucked In To The Escape World Of Tv. I'm Speaking From Experience; I'm Not Above All This.

Life Has Been Reduced To A Series Of Long Periods Of Boredom In The Office Punctuated By High-octane "experiences" Which You Can Rack Up On Your List Of Things To Do Before You Die. That's Not Really Living: That Is Slavery With The Occasional Circus Thrown In.
