Laziness

Laziness is a social construct. None of us chose to be here, or got input in deciding how the world operates. We each have a fundamental right to opt out of a system we neither created nor had a choice to participate or live in.

That social construct of laziness, like most things, is born out of capitalism, which itself was created out of innate human greed and selfishness. It tells us that unless you're hustling and being productive every second of every day, you're lazy, and we've made laziness an inherently negative trait. Without attributing negative connotations to the concept of laziness, capitalism would not have adequate pressure to keep the proletariat down and working for the profit and wealth consolidation of the few. The cabal needs constant productivity and growth, even if it means we're miserable working our entire lives.

So be lazy. Take breaks, rest, do things for yourself. Don’t buy into the myth of constant productivity and activity. It is okay to be lazy and not desire to always be doing something. Some of the best days are those in which we have no obligations and can simply lounge about. 

Through the lens of utopian PLUR culture, there is no judgment. Many large festivals and events have designated rest areas, and you’ll otherwise always find people sitting or lying on the ground, in a state of rest and pure enjoyment of music and companionship. There’s no pressure for these folks to get up and dance or run from stage to stage. They can just be. Imagine a society formed around the same principles instead of the current grind culture. 

A society’s culture is a reflection of that society’s values. Do we value capitalism’s constant demand for productivity, or should we value rest, human dignity, and individual autonomy?
