Confessions of a Born Lazy Person
First of all I must confess that I’m a lazy person. But saying this doesn’t mean that I’m very honest or it’s something that only I know well, just because as far as I’m concerned, everyone is lazy. Here I emphasize on the word “everyone”, and this also complies with what my politics teacher said, “commonness is included in individualities”.
Once I suggested that we should use disposable dishes at home so that we don’t have to do the dishes everyday. But, irritatingly, this was totally negated by my mother. She would like to command me to do the dishes in a very strict voice, very dissatisfied with my laziness. I wonder if she also started to suspect that I wasn’t her son or someone she just picked up beside the street, simply because of her diligence she believed, and her son should have inherited her good personalities and character. So I did have to do the dishes under her pressure, otherwise I would not be accepted. But in the meantime I was also reminded that my mother’s father is very lazy too, and the housework was done all by employees, but of course she hadn’t remembered that.
In fact, those people just like my mother who do housework everyday and also are able to describe every little chore, like counting money, are not as hardworking as they think. For instance, each time my mother arrives home, she’d rather ring the doorbell loudly while just leaving the keys in her accompanied purse, so that my father and I would rush to the door as if we heard the air attack alarm, open the door and then welcome my mother with all of our heart. When seeing nothing in her hand, I ask her how come she didn’t open the door herself, she just answers, “you are at home and it’s absurd for me to open the door myself, the only thing I have to do is just to ring the doorbell, how efficient it is.”
I suppose the adjective efficient is the pronoun of the word lazy.
Every evening my father studies until midnight. When he gets really hungry, he moves to the kitchen, but never pays attention to the fresh fruits or the food in the refrigerator, he just takes out a pack of instant noodles and then puts them in the microwave oven, several minutes later he goes back to the kitchen and starts eating. My mother is very dissatisfied with this habit of my father, but father seems full of reasons: “why do I have to eat those things, take the instant noodle for example, it’s very efficient and delicious and healthy and not expensive, and so on.
I think the instant noodle should be called lazy noodle.
But more and more I believe it’s not a drawback for you to be a lazy person. Above all you don’t have to be hardworking, or if you’d rather say, you don’t have to pretend to be hardworking due to some special and complex reasons. Possibly, you may find that those so-called role models working hard day by day don’t like to work hard all the time. Compared to the situation where you pretend to be a hard-worker and very enthusiastic toward endless work but secretly there is evidence to prove your laziness, I prefer to announce honestly that I am a lazy person. So when my mother asks me to do the dishes every day, I can directly refuse her order. How come? Because I’m lazy.
I think what we should do is to pretend to be dedicated, to be hardworking in our studies. According to my experience, nothing could be a better excuse for you to refuse to do dishes than to stand up straight, while saying justly: “I’m about to do my homework.” But this is also a great to deal with my teachers as well as parents. It’s an interesting idea to think about, isn’t it? What I really believe though is to leave yourself a little space to imagine life and to enjoy life. And also, don’t make just the classroom your whole world, instead, make the whole world your classroom.
