The sin of sloth
Today I'll talk to you about one of the seven deadly sins... the sin of sloth...
In Roman Catholicism, sloth (Latin: accidia, pigritia) is one of the seven deadly sins, and is defined as spiritual and/or actual apathy or laziness, putting off what God asks you to do, or not doing it or anything at all. Acedia is a Latin word, from Greek akedia, literally meaning "absence of caring".
Sloth can also concern wasting due to lack of use or allowing entropy, expanding into almost any person, place, thing, skills, or intangible ideal that would require maintenance, refinement and/or support to continue to exist.
Several religious views concerning the need for one to work to support society and further God's plan and work by doing so reflects that by not being active alone, you invite the desire to sin on its own. (“For Satan finds some mischief still for idle hands to do”. Isaac Watts)
The ultimate act of sloth is not going to look for the word sloth in the dictionary after reading this ;)
