7. I don't believe in a character flaw called "laziness."

I believe that in pretty much ALL cases where a person doesn't seem willing or able to get much done, there is an underlying and possibly undiagnosed physical or mental health problem. A person in good physical & mental condition naturally, instinctively wants to be active and productive. If they don't, there is something wrong, and it's not their fault.

I have lupus and suffer from fatigue more than any other symptom. I go through phases when it's easier to exercise than others, and when I do, it does make a positive difference in my condition, but sometimes it's just not possible. That's the nature of these diseases.
