The 4 Lazy Truths

This is the diagnosis for our culture as we know it. The Truths are not presented as things that we are supposed to assume true, but as things which we find valuable to assume true at the present. Make up your own if these do not suffice (besides, it is easier to remember them if you make them up).

• There is laziness. We sense our resistance to the busibodies who inhabit the world around us. The laziness itself is not the problem. It arises from a deep need to be sedentary. We sit, we lie about, we watch television, we read interesting literature. This brings enjoyment, and to the extent that other things detract us from this path, we must take measures to eliminate them.
• Business supports laziness. This is an unfortunate quality about the nature of the reality in which we find ourselves. We must work in order to live in comfort. We must organize in order to find things without effort. We must be active at the appropriate times in order to be able to laze about most of the time. This principle has no exceptions.
• Laziness leads to enlightenment. The following of laziness and enjoyment leads to enlightenment as soon and as effeciently, for some, as does the path of the Busy. Hard work does the job for some, but for others it is calm relaxation, procrastination without guilt and ignorant focus on the pleasing that leads us to `the other shore' more swiftly.
• The trick to becoming lazy (and therefore enlightened) is to follow the 8-Fold Path of Laziness, albeit in your favorite and least stressful form. The successful Laze adapts all rule systems to his needs so as to preserve the perfection of all things.
