Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Are human beings naturally lazy?

Do you consider yourself lazy? If yes, how long can you stand doing absolutely nothing in your room, no nap, phone, or TV? You may think that is a sort of luxury out of your busy life. But what if staying at home for a few weeks without working, going to school, or hanging out? Sounds like a long vacation at home, but can you enjoy doing nothing or as little as possible for more than a few days? In fact, that’s difficult, like some of you might have experienced during the coronavirus lockdown.

While some people usually try to avoid any work or effort that involves mental or physical strain and just make the least effort, many of you have developed industriousness through experience and persuasion that effort leads to reward and makes you feel pleased.

So, in a sense, we are naturally lazy, but in the meantime, we are also an effort-seeking being. That’s why enforced quarantine or lockdown is so stressful.

Enjoy reading the article and learn about our natural tendencies.
