this was a great read. “Laziness Does Not Exist” by Devon Price

Begin image ID. Text reads “If a person can’t get out of bed, something is making them exhausted. If a student isn’t writing papers,  there’s some aspect of the assignment that they can’t do without help. If an employee misses deadlines constantly, something is making organization and deadline-meeting difficult. Even if a person is actively choosing to self-sabotage, there’s a reason for it – some fear they’re working through, some need not being met, a lack of self-esteem being expressed.

People do not choose to fail or disappoint. No one wants to feel incapable, apathetic, or ineffective. If you look at a persons’ action (or inaction) and see only laziness, you are missing key details. There is always an explanation. There are always barriers. Just because you can’t see them, or don’t view them as legitimate, doesn’t mean they’re not there. Look harder.” End image ID.

Someone described the modern difference as such:  Fear is knowing that a werewolf is hunting you.  Terror is when you see it and it charges at you.  Horror is realizing that your feet are stuck to the floor.

lust is

I’d like to thank the brave sniper that stopped that final comment

me when i throw away an apple core: too bad i haven't any hogs. i could have put this in their trough.

couple years ago I was peeling vegetables. looked at the whole pile and thought, nearly to the point of speaking aloud, "well better go take these to the pigs." never had pigs in my life. never spent time with anyone who did.
