Constructively Busy

There are some of us who are constructively busy, and some others who choose to look constructively busy. The difference is, when you are constructively busy, things get done; and when you look constructively busy, things don't get done.

Some people are more prone to laziness. It's a character trait, a personality flaw.
There should be some research in this area where studies are done to figure out what makes a person lazy. Some may think that it's easy to get into a lazy mode - like during a vacation when we do nothing but read a book and sun-bathe, but vacations aside - how does a person become so lazy that all he does is watch TV during official work hours? Even housewives have chores to finish during official work hours.

My theory is this:
A person chooses to be lazy because he's really screwed up.
Otherwise, he would at least have some goals or chores that he panned out for the day.
Unless we are bedridden, it's appalling to think that our day's calendar is totally void of chores. Even when we are bedridden, we have goals to set, like physiotherapy to get us out of bed so that we can go about our normal lives.

For these lazy people, doing nothing is part of their normal life.
If they had to do ONE chore, they would make sure the entire world knows about it, so that they can collect accolades.

BUT, instead of just letting their fats hang loose, they look constructively busy by focusing on the news on TV the whole day, doesn't matter if the news headlines are repeated throughout the day, then they read the newspaper, from cover to cover - hoping to get on the Honour Roll of literacy.

You know, when a person gets to this stage, it's best he just calls it a day.
Having him around is like wasting precious natural resources like O2.
After all, the aim of life is to draw our last breath, and see a colourful snapshot of our lives zip by us before the curtains fall.

I think I shall do a research paper on this topic because it's been biting me so much that I need to find a fix for it.
