It usually comes as a surprise to me whenever I hear the story of people who have decided to remain inactive probably because they have someone helping with their needs and sorting out their responsibilities, maybe this is very strange to me because I have had to shoulder the responsibility of taking care of myself and siblings from a very young age, so I can never relate to sitting idle and allowing someone else takes care of me.

I also think it is highly dangerous to stay idle even while you have someone taking care of you since no one has control over times and seasons, one constant thing is change. My friend was telling me about how her single Mum works very hard to take care of her (the child) and her uncle, she would work tirelessly to meet their needs as she considered them both her responsibility. One day, one of her Mum's staff failed to show up for an important project and she quickly called on her jobless uncle to come to take his place, that way, he would earn money for that day, it, however, came as a shock to her when her uncle said ''he was not cut out for such hard work'', her Mum was so angry at that statement and that was the last time she gave him a dime of her money.

Some people are extremely lazy and seeing someone who takes care of their needs, gives them even more reasons to just get relaxed, but laziness is highly dangerous as it has these associated dangers. While laziness could be one of the attributes developed as a teenager, it follows some people through into adulthood.

Laziness destroys purpose.

There is nothing that destroys purpose more than laziness. Imagining drawing out plans for the week, then waking up on a daily basis, and then returning to bed without lifting a finger, at the end of the day, at the end of the week, there will be nothing achieved despite the fact that, you had goals written down. Keeping up with this habit constantly will eventually result in the death of purpose and dreams.

Laziness makes it impossible for us to provide. Let's even agree that the person taking care of your responsibilities does not have an issue with taking care of you, what then happens when you have a family of your own, do you think this person would also take the responsibility of taking care of your family members as well? Let us now even agree that, maybe this good samaritan makes the choice of taking care of your family members also ( which is almost impossible), what happens if something happens to that good samaritan and he/she is unable to help further, what will you do with your family then?

Laziness is destructive.

There is nothing more destructive than losing your sense of purpose and being unable to take care of your own children. Idleness is what happens when there is laziness, and idleness can birth anything, it could result in getting trapped in criminal activities which is an obviously clear path to destruction.
