What exactly is lazy?
That's what the lazy games will be about, pin-pointing exactly what the word lazy means, with some questions and answers to choose from to help us along and finally deduct what the meaning is.
The definition, though seemingly and deceptively clear, can be in a bit of a grey area in certain situations.
This is why it'll be so fun to figure out through questions and a poll.
When you think of a lazy person in angry indignation, I'm sure the first thought that comes to mind is a man (Because the feminist movement has been successful in instilling in every woman a robotic-like ambition to step on the face of men and be dominant with their careers, for some strange reason...).
A man (or bum, if you're angry enough), in sweaty sweatpants and shirt even though he hasn't worked up a sweat...or he worked up a sweat vigorously attacking food.
So he's most likely in a reclining chair complaining, not having any work and living off his immediate family members or 'living off of the system' with welfare benefits.
We're taught that this is a traditionally lazy person.
But are we ever given a radically different, though just as realistic portrayal?
Lazy is directly equated to not working.
If a wealthy person who inherited their wealth, didn't want to work because he could very comfortably and justifiably make that decision, is that lazy as well?
Especially if they make sure to protect and maintain their wealth through law, similarly 'living off the system.'
Now comes the question of work in this lazy scheme.
If a well-off person still wants to invest in business interests, create, and things like that, is it considered work, because they didn't have to work but chose to?
Work is always considered begrudgingly by people who have to work, because often times its doing something they don't like just to survive, until their able to do what they want, and find that they're pretty successful at it. Maybe successful enough where they don't have to work as hard at it because its innate and people demand their expertise; an environment where you can set your own hours and maybe retire a little earlier than planned.
