I know I am. Most people are. But why ? Why are most people lazy, even when it comes to things they know will benefit them in the long run. Was just wondering (bored, really).

Laziness is the lack of desire to act or work in general or to do an act or work that is expected of a person. In extreme cases, a generalized tendency to do nothing may verge on apathy and be a symptom of depression. What is considered laziness varies according to personal or societal context and magnitude. Laziness can be considered an exaggeration of the natural instinct to do nothing that makes people get healthy rest. Laziness is usually associated with procrastination.
It has been argued that laziness is the source of many innovations that would have stemmed from the will to spare oneself a tiring job.[citation needed] However, others have argued that this is really a praise of doing work efficiently, not laziness or idleness itself.[citation needed]
Some, like Bertrand Russell, have also said that if everyone were lazy and idle then there would be far fewer conflicts in the world, since everyone would be too lazy to fight.
The expression "intellectual laziness" is frequently used to describe a tendency not to ask questions, and not to scratch too much behind the apparent, applying a kind of mental routine (availability heuristic) or just following the crowd (herd behavior).

lazy lazy just until the last minute and then I pile all the work in just to get what I hope is the best outcome, laziness is self-knowledge I've become more lazy recently (only just recently!)

I'm lazy. I guess it's because with all the technology and machines around, we just don't need to work so hard anymore.

No, I'm not lazy, I'm just rejected and tired of it.
