Wondering about work

(Folks! We have Meera on-board here today. And i'm too lazy to type more.
*Falls asleep.)
How does it feel to be so unproductive, to meander, sleep and maunder about obvious nothings
To set an aim and not play the game and sulk away into sleep
To be the living embodiment of inertia, just a body of mass that refuses to plunge into work
How does it feel to compromise on one's under achievements
To be satiated with things being satisfactory
To not have the thirst and the unending vigour required to achieve the things that lie beyond
To be like a tepid water, dry and parched deep inside but lukewarm and content outside
Still, un-moving and unrelenting
Never willing to surrender
to the friendly clasp of routine and rigour
How does it feel to be okay with being mundane
A nobody in man kind's walk down memory lane
Wondering ever whether this body and mind can conjure up work
Work that will lead to surmountable benefits both for me and those around me
Will that day ever come, will I ever work and achieve the things I set my heart on ?
Why doesn't my heart pulse with the kind of joy that's required when I tread the path to my aim ?
Why do I passively behold the time ticking by and not play up my game ?
When will this misery of being lazy end and when will I rest after doing work that tires me to my bones and yet fires me up from within.
Thanks to you Meera, for successfully summing up our sunday. Also, for confirming that the feeling of laze is inherent amongst all. Don't you think, its a need of an hour to formulate a laze-index?
Somewhat like; Laze index= Work not done/ Naps taken**
Where ** includes Netflix /Prime/Docubay and other platforms too.
Base year ofcourse, would be 2020 (Please don't ask us why, rather tell us in the comments).
Thank you for the laziness index. Looking forward to more work on that.
Actually yes, thank you for summarizing a typical Sunday. I guess we all need a reminder.
I guess I have felt at times, or maybe all the times that people over rate waking up in the morning... like people going around saying wake up with the thought of changing the world and have the motivation to change the society for better... ugh,, i kinda feel probably that's the worst way you would like to wake up.. arey aankhey toh khulne do yaar...haha.. never mind.. I (we) do realize how many opportunities I (we) may miss if I (we) sleep, but whats better, I guess I don't regret...
As the laziest member of this blog, I support the creation of the index! Also smart move with setting the base year at 2020, when we were all collectively at our laziest!! XD
