An adult measures his life with periods of laziness and work. Of course, he likes to be lazy (relax) more, but he prefers to teach children that labor is good. Moreover, it is just perfect. For such a thing, proverbs about labor and laziness are perfect. In our article, we will consider not so much them as the meaning behind the phenomena mentioned above.
When labor is bad
Labor is bad when a person does not like what he does. For example, there is such an aphorism: “Where there is a will, there is a skill”. It is completely fair, because if a person does not want to do something, he will never achieve any heights in the craft he is occupied with. For example, a young man goes to a factory from need at the age of 15. In fact, he is an artist, poet or musician, but his need drives him to stand at the machine. Firstly, he won’t last long there, he’ll leave anyway, and secondly, he’ll possibly let down the whole enterprise, since he will work without desire. In other words, the proverbs about labor and laziness are completely true in relation only to the kind of work that is sweet to a person.
Labor as a value
Work is good because it changes a person. There is no difference what to do, the main thing is to do it with desire and at least with some pleasure, and then "your eyes are afraid, but your hands are doing." If there is no desire for work, then fear cannot be defeated.
A little bit about the modern world
Now labor is a fetish, and laziness, on the contrary, is not fashionable. Anyone who is lazy will not earn a regular iPhone and become a loser. Oh yes, he’ll bring more vacation in the village of his grandmother, and not in the Maldives. Nobody wants to sour in the country, so everyone urgently works. But is it worth it?
Laziness is bad
When a person does not work, in general, is not busy with anything, and he doesn’t even want to find a job for himself, he simply prefers to exist at the expense of others. And it’s even bad that not leading a parasitic life is immoral, but that a person disintegrates as a person without a favorite occupation. Here in this case proverbs about labor and laziness are very suitable:
- "Who does not work shall not eat".
- "He who does not sow does not reap."
True, it is likely that he will not take them seriously. It’s safer to strip money.
In this sense, not only big boys come to mind, who, without a twinge of conscience, take money from their parents for their needs and generally for life, but also housewives who believe that not working is cool.
When adult guys do not work and calmly sit on the neck of their parents, it is clear why this is bad, they are also “eternal children”. And then if someone by chance or misunderstanding marries them, then their other half are surprised why they do not know how. These people are not adapted for life because their parents allowed them not to work.
Housewives have a different story. Women, when they leave social life, "sink" very quickly, i.e. cease to follow themselves, get fat. In short, they get out of shape and stop sexually attracting their husbands. Thus, they fall into the trap set for them by their own laziness and passivity. But if these women read proverbs about labor and laziness, they would be young, thin, able-bodied and beautiful.
