    Yes Laziness can be pleasurable and is not always seen as a character flaw. I pay someone to come clean my home because I have the disposable income and I do not wish to do this. This is a sign of virtue because I am not a “drain” on society but am a “job creator” (not really she has more customers than just me.)

    As for Executive dysfunction. This is not “Oh I can decide what I want to eat so I’ll just snack.” Executive dysfunction is an acute state where the person is unable to make any decision let alone move causing them to literally freeze up and not respond to others.

    And I would tread lightly with the term “character flaw” people here are not dealing with character flaws, they are trying to navigate this alien world.

      That is because it isn’t laziness by definition. You aren’t unwilling to clean. You don’t need to clean. Laziness would be if you couldn’t afford to have someone do the work, you knew it needed to be done and you still didn’t do it.

      I pay someone farm wheat and turn it into bread. That’s not being lazy.

        Now we come to your perspective and view point. What is and is not laziness is based on ones opinions not facts. Many people where I live completely see it as lazy to let someone else clean their house. But you do not. Different perspectives different opinions. Maybe you would do well to consider others opinions and not stating your own as facts.

          It’s not my opinion but the definition of the word in the dictionary. I looked it up before replying to the poster above you because I was unsure about the definition.

          Paying to have things done isn’t lazy or everyone who has lived post agricultural revolution circa 10,000BC is lazy.
