Something I wrote about laziness recently, kind of fits here:

The concept of laziness is propaganda, brought on by a logic of destruction

In a world where a philosophy of infinite growth causes us to destroy everything that is not dedicated to the production of goods, doing nothing is political. At a time where burnout is on the rise while we still carry the internalized belief that our self-worth is tied to our productivity, doing nothing is an act of self love. In a world that is overheating, doing nothing is an act of self preservation and of protecting Mother Earth.

Rest is resistance. Rest doesn't mean you are lazy while the world is on fire, it means you do not participate in fanning the flames even more. Feel like doing nothing? Do nothing, because that's what Mother Earth wants you to do in this moment. Close your eyes, rest, let life find its way.

The idea that we have to be active to save, protect, improve is part of the lie that we are the crown of creation, the stewards of the earth, the ones who run the show. None of it is true. We just have to stop doing damage. We just have to stop. Are you always tired? Mother Nature asks you to rest, let life find its way.
