Laziness
Laziness (also known as indolence) is disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to act or to exert oneself. It is often used as a pejorative; terms for a person seen to be lazy include "couch potato", "slacker", and "bludger". Related concepts include ''sloth'', a Christian sin, and ''lethargy'', a state of lacking energy. Despite famed neurologist Sigmund Freud's discussion of the " pleasure principle", Leonard Carmichael noted in 1954 that "laziness is not a word that appears in the table of contents of most technical books on psychology".
