Sloth is the most misunderstood of the Seven Deadly Sins. Often regarded as mere laziness, it is more accurately translated as apathy. When a person is apathetic, they no longer care about doing their duty to others or to God, causing them to ignore their spiritual well-being. Thomas Aquinas wrote that sloth "...is evil in its effect, if it so oppresses man as to draw him away entirely from good deeds."

Condemning sloth as a sin functions as a way to keep people active in the church in case they start to realize how useless religion and theism really are. Religious organizations need people to keep active to support the cause, usually described as "God's plan," because such organizations don't produce anything of value which would otherwise invite any sort of income. People must thus be encouraged to "volunteer" time and resources on pain of eternal punishment.

The slothful, people guilty of committing the deadly sin of sloth, are punished in hell by being thrown into snake pits. As with the other punishments for deadly sins, I really don't see a connection between sloth and snakes. Why not put the slothful in freezing water or boiling oil? Why not make them get out of bed and go to work for a change?

'Representing the vice of sloth, this image belongs to a series of prints of the Seven Deadly Sins, engraved by Pieter van der Heyden after drawings by Pieter Bruegel the Elder. The personification of sloth, a shabbily dressed woman, demonstratively sleeps away the time in the central foreground, resting her weight on the back of an ass. The various examples of lazy or slothful behavior, in evidence in the surrounding landscape, colorfully demonstrate the message of the inscription below: "Sloth makes man powerless and dries out the nerves until man is good for nothing." '

may the sloths stop the 'war' in South Korea, so I can still go there. Or should we not may I go somewhere else.

i'm going to south korea in january.
i couldn't be more excited to get out of toronto.
it's really worthless to me now.

2010-10-07T06:23:00.000-07:00

you're easy like sunday morning,
i'm easy like a sloth.

love fall.

2010-09-27T23:14:00.001-07:00

out of control.

2010-09-20T09:18:00.000-07:00

it seems life is a cyclical series of events from the birth of emotional consciousness until we can become hardened from dark thought and deep regret.

2010-09-17T15:15:00.000-07:00

of course i'll be looking back. only because i'm going to walk away.
fall brings change.

2010-09-15T11:53:00.000-07:00

i really would like to go to vancouver again.
also to have a home will be nice.
16 more days.

2010-09-12T07:16:00.001-07:00

looking forward to it.
but would rather be in europe.

2010-08-31T07:25:00.000-07:00

this sloth is living my dream. riding on a sail boat, wind in my hair, not a care in the world.
instead, as of tomorrow i am homeless.

2010-08-25T13:43:00.000-07:00

feelin' good.

2010-08-13T07:46:00.000-07:00

feeling better,
enough said.

2010-08-09T09:36:00.001-07:00

this sloth is,
mildly wounded, lacking it's coat.
dying slowly, or already dead.

midnight to noon i'm a dessert child,
and mountains make me nauseous.

2010-07-27T21:19:00.000-07:00

up n at em.

2010-07-23T19:03:00.000-07:00

2010-07-16T15:22:00.000-07:00

back in canada now. clinging to memories with the grip of a three toed sloth.
excited to see everyone though. next stop new york? i hope so.

2010-06-28T02:42:00.000-07:00

it's an interesting time in my life. i'm extremely upset with myself for a number of reasons, but extremely excited aswell. i just wish to be an animal, none other of course than the sloth; but any of them would do.

2010-06-18T01:03:00.000-07:00

i've been in milan since sunday. it's really busy here, quite frustrating, but once i got used to getting around i was able to find the time to take a few minutes here and there and appreciate the city for it's 'decaying' beauty. the whole city looks a bit like it's crumbling.
too many models here.
rather silly if you ask me.

2010-06-08T12:31:00.000-07:00

i've been in paris since sunday at 8:25 in the morning. europe time.
my days have been spent on the metro, at castings with various designers and walking around montmarte and beyond. i'm so grateful for this opportunity and have been experiencing things i never thought i would have been able to.
it's quite amazing here, and i'm excited for milan this coming sunday.

there are no sloths here though.

2010-06-01T17:08:00.000-07:00

leaving for paris, milan and tokyo on saturday,
thank god.

it's come to my attention that cows are beautiful creatures as well. in fact i see a lot more beauty in that which walks around me as of late.

2010-04-22T12:51:00.000-07:00

if he stole my phone, i wouldn't be upset.
because he would run away from me like this.

2010-04-04T21:18:00.000-07:00
