Lethargy

      Wiktionary defines lethargy as "sluggish, slow; indifferent, apathetic". Wikipedia defines lethargy as "a technical death metal band formed in Rochester, New York in 1992 and disbanded in December 1999". But let's focus on the first definition. Although not the most sluggish of people, or the slowest, I am probably more lethargic than I should be. I was thinking about this yesterday at 6:30 in the evening as I eventually decided to get out of bed. I have also been thinking about it for the last five minutes as I examined my fingernails and considered which one was the nicest. Apparently nicest is a real word.
      Perhaps my problem is less one of lethargy and more of complacency. I achieve little as I am complacent that later I will achieve what I want to. I have become complacent with slight botherings in my daily life, so feel little need to address them. Complacency is probably the largest enemy of growth in the world and will probably remain for a long time as everyone has become, well, complacent with it. This means that we never bother to ever do anything worthwhile. At least the technical death metal band Lethargy did something worth writing an article about.
