Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Are human beings naturally lazy?
Do you consider yourself lazy? If yes, how
long can you stand doing absolutely nothing in your room, no nap, phone, or TV?
You may think that is a sort of luxury out of your busy life. But what if
staying at home for a few weeks without working, going to school, or hanging
out? Sounds like a long vacation at home, but can you enjoy doing nothing or as
little as possible for more than a few days? In fact, that’s difficult, like
some of you might have experienced during the coronavirus lockdown.
While some people usually try to avoid any work
or effort that involves mental or physical strain and just make the least
effort, many of you have developed industriousness through experience and
persuasion that effort leads to reward and makes you feel pleased.
So, in a sense, we are naturally lazy, but in
the meantime, we are also an effort-seeking being. That’s why enforced quarantine
or lockdown is so stressful.
Enjoy reading the article and learn about our
natural tendencies.
