Just found your writing from Paul Millerds new book. So glad I did. This quote hit hard!

"But sloth isn’t the opposite of industry; it is the opposite of enthusiasm… it is an indifference toward the True, Good, and Beautiful. Thus, someone stuck in a cycle of endless activity is equally as guilty of the sin of sloth as the one who does nothing but sleep."

This was a really powerful article. I liked the distinction between sloth and laziness, as I believe sloth in the modern age to be more akin to apathy. This has been a great reminder for me to make time for the things that truly matter to me.
