A great way to redefine "lazy" while making sure no empathy interferes.
While I have lived a sort of privileged life, I can at least believe what others are saying if I cannot truly feel it.
Even Jack London's ambitious protagonist in Martin Eden notes something of the sort: "I could study day-in, day-out for 17h a day, but after 10h of hard, physical labour, all I want to is to lie down and do nothing" (not an exact quote: I am paraphrasing from memory).
As soon as you add dependents (maybe your frailing parents or grandparents or maybe a spouse and kids), it gets even harder.
