Dorothy Sayers describes sloth as “a sin that believes in nothing, cares for nothing, seeks to know nothing, interferes with nothing, enjoys nothing, hates nothing, finds purpose in nothing, lives for nothing, and remains alive because there is nothing for which it will die.”
What a sad, sad, existence.
The following article claims that sloth can be tolerance and it can be hidden by purposeless activeness: http://www.catholic.org/clife/lent/story.php?id=32656
We are given an allotted amount of time, what are we doing with it?
How many hours a week do we spend watching tv, day dreaming, doing purposeless tasks, counting down the hours, minutes and seconds until we can do something else?
How much time do we spend with God?
He will ask for an account of our lives: what did we live for?
