Notes About The Poem

The Sin of Sloth

when we fall prey to complacency 

and comfortably wallow in abject sloth, 
    
                   we suffocate motivation in its nascency. 

eschew apathy and inactivity; rise above both!

"eschew apathy and inactivity; rise above both!" Great exhortation....! If we feel complacent all the time without an urge to improve, life will stagnate! Wise thoughts beautifully expressed ! All the best Edward!
