The word that explains nothing

Lazy is the word you have been using, and it is probably the word somebody used about you first.

It is a verdict on a person. It says the problem is what you are, which means there is nothing to work on, only somebody to be ashamed of. It also does not fit the facts. Genuinely lazy people are not the ones lying awake at two in the morning about an essay.

Underneath the word there are usually two entirely different problems, and they run on different machinery.
