The Sin of Sloth

In Summa Theologiae, the medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas said that laziness is "a slowness of the mind, neglecting to start tenderness ... its effect is evil if it is so repressive to mankind. (2 , 35, advertisement 1)

Even if it sacrifices God's known will, laziness is a desire for ease. No matter what we do in our lives, we need to work hard. All what we do is a means of redemption. As they have devoted a lot of effort, the lazy people do not want to do what God wants. Laziness is sinful when you slow down, you may even stop using the means of salvation

A lazy man committed a lazy fatal crime - he was punished in hell as he was thrown into a snake hole. Like other punishments for deadly sins, there seems to be no connection between laziness and snakes. How about putting lazy things in cold water or boiling oil? Why will not they get up from bed to go to work?

I believe that idleness is the most "deadly" crime. Laziness is harmful to individuals, but it usually does not have a major impact on society. Since it was originally included in seven deadly sins, the definition of laziness changed dramatically. In fact, it was first called a sin of sorrow. It is in the early days of Christianity and is characterized by depression: depression, boredom or laziness. In the mezzanine house, the customary examples of laziness and laziness are narrator, lazy, introvert, intellectual, usually part of the land. He wants the world to be different. He believes the world should follow his passion for science and art. But he never made artistic or scientific works at his three "work" times. "The narrator acknowledged that he was unhappy and unaware, he said," It was accused by not doing anything forever "(page 125).

Melancholy is not only regarded as a symbol of sin, but it is considered sinful in a depressing state; in Latin, Latin lazy deadly sins are widely defined from laziness to melancholy. In fact, many clergy wrote about the people suffering from Acadia and explained that they are depressed. For example, Cassis thus states "lazy" monks as follows. "He looked worried like this and he sighed that the brothers did not come to see him. Next, as if it was too late to set up, the unfairness of the heart The confusion occupied him, like a dirty dark. "

Prior to the 19th century, the term closest to "boredom" was heart failure, also known as a lazy "deadly sin". According to Thomas Aquinas (1225-1274), one of the best "psychologists" believes that sin is repressive sorrow, so he is not doing anything because it is heavy for the person's heart. "Evagrius Ponticus writes that people with heart failure hate Dr. Nicholas Lombardo for another explanation of heart failure. Our will will become uneasy after God knows something and does not need anything. "
