Seven Deadly Sins: SLOTH
Current mood: focused

The modern view of the vice, as highlighted by its contrary virtue of zeal or diligence, is that it represents the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts. For example, a student who does not work beyond what is required (and thus fails to achieve his or her full potential) could be labeled slothful.

Current interpretations are therefore much less stringent and comprehensive than they were in medieval times, and portray sloth as being more simply a sin of laziness or indifference, of an unwillingness to act, an unwillingness to care (rather than a failure to love God and his works).

WOW this one is really complicated for me. It's totally hard to explain but having MS makes me Fatigued beyond your wildest nightmares...I have provigil but i try not to take it too often...The thing is that sometimes i feel lazy because i can't be up and about like everyone else 24/7 unless i take a pill. And my worst fears are that people think i am lazy...But i really am not. I mean i'm still going to school, I take care of this dog, i clean i cook, i exercise...And i feel I try to use my talents to help others. I am an activist for puppy mills I go around and educate people about them, post fliers, and made a video promoting awareness...I think i'm good at listening to people and helping them through hard times (thus the majoring in psychology) I really try to listen to people and help out. On this online support group i feel good when i find a helpful article and post it for people with MS to read. I am excited for my future profession in the psychology/patient care field...I miss being a medic in the Air Force and helping people so much... It made me so fufilled :)

I've been through so much and seen so much i can never walk away while an injustice is being done...which can get me in trouvle sometimes :)
I guess I just have to be more determined and start keeping provigil right by my bed so when i wake up i can take it and start my day. Oh MS you are such a bastard....
