The Sin of Not Being Active

Wishing for the future is like asking the past to edit itself.
A Pillar of Salt will be the result.
The person will be by themselves

Looking into the present and seeing those that have left you should be the ball of twine in within your mind.
Living in the moment and seeing the results come about is more enjoyable than being inactive.

The sloth will sit on their duff and never become active.
Soda is the result of their days slothfulness. 
Constantly they forecast their past in a manner of unproven boastfulness.

The struggle of a person whether alone or with their rib is more honorable than a person that is slothful.
