There is a funny story about laziness. Three young men were lying by the roadside doing nothing. A person passed by and asked curiously, "Ah! What are you three doing here?"
They said,"Oh! We are very lazy, so we are lying here. We do not want to work."
The person said, "Well, if this is so, you tell me how you are lazy. I shall give one dollar to the laziest person."
If one wants to be lazy, one might as well be completely lazy so that others have nothing to say.
One of the lazy ones said, "I am very thirsty. I am both hungry and thirsty. I have a pear in my pocket, but I am so lazy that I cannot take it out." (audience laughs)
Are you any better than he is?
The next one said, "Well! That is nothing. The sun keeps shining in my eyes. It hurts my eyes, but I am too lazy to turn my head around." (audience laughs)
The third person said, "Well, the two of them are not so bad. I am the laziest." He continued, "I want to go to sleep very badly. I am exhausted! But I am too lazy to close my eyes." (audience laughs)
Isn't this the same with you - too lazy to think. You know it should be such a way, but you are too lazy to turn it around. Isn't it so? Actually all of these funny stories contain lessons for us to learn, but some of the lessons are not obvious.
