So, in the house where I live, I forgot to run the water system that supplies water to the entire house, and I awoke today to find that there was no water.
So I checked the water unit and discovered that the house's owner had not paid for the electricity required to run the water.
Unfortunately, this occurred because I am virtually the only one who runs water for the entire unit in my flat. I did not inherit this responsibility; rather, the remaining flat occupants are terrible at managing the house's activities.
I understand how bad it is to be without water, so I try to take it upon myself; however, doing it on a regular basis causes others to become lazy, but if I do not do it, I get to suffer as a result of their irresponsibility, just as I am today.
We have about 5 people living in this house, and the majority of them never check the water system or pump it; they simply go to their toilets, dump and flush, go to the bathroom, turn on the shower, and take a bath, but they never care about running the water.
Now, even though they neglect it, I take my time running the water because I know how difficult it is to live without clean water, and since they have chosen to be responsible, I simply cannot be with them.
I have spent my entire life around people like this.
Lazy people are easily offended
They are easy to predict: they do not want to clean their environment, so they pay someone to do it; they can not wash their clothes, so they pay someone or a maid to do it; and it gets really crazy when they can not even run the water system that supplies water to their bathrooms.
These people appear to be all fresh and clean outside, and they even wear expensive clothes and perfumes, but once you enter their living room, it feels and looks like a dumpster. You would be surprised at how many people are lazy, but we rarely discuss how laziness has so many consequences.
Disability is surprisingly not inability
I saw a video of a man without limbs, and I wondered how they kept their living room so clean. This is because it is difficult enough to do housework, let alone when you do not have any limbs.
But I noticed that the limbless man realized he could not procrastinate. If he fails to do his dishes, he'll end up with a smelly kitchen, but a person who is fully functional will not think this way, because they think they can easily do the dishes anytime, or maybe depend on their wives, partner or siblings to do it, at the end of the day, nobody does it, because they're all counting on someone else to actually do it.
People can be abled, but their life and mind is complete disability
Collective irresponsibility has serious consequences, but it is rarely discussed.
Being responsible is not difficult, but some people choose not to be because of carelessness, procrastination, or laziness. We live in a world where quick action can prevent severe damage.
A person who fails to change their car's brakes because they are not ready to go to the mechanic may end up dying on the road when the brakes finally fail, all because of a simple act of irresponsibility.
People want to always rely on others, but they do not want to be dependable.
Many don't wants to take up commitments, this is mostly because of laziness, and people can be inherently lazy. It is perplexing that so many healthy and sane people are lazy and irresponsible.
It irritates me when I see something that should be done but isn't. I get this uneasy feeling when the bathroom is dirty, and I can not relax if I have not made dinner or done the dishes.
Maybe it is how I have trained my mind. I recognize potential consequences when I see them. When something is about to become a ticking time bomb, I am quick to recognize it and take immediate action.
This is why I do not mind living with irresponsible individuals. Since I cannot afford a house of my own, being able to tolerate people and forgive their excesses is inevitable . You can either learn to do it or have problems with them.
This is because you cannot change people; confronting them in order to force a change in them only leads to conflict. This is because most people dislike being forced to change. No one truly changes with the influences of others, except they open up themselves to actually do so.
One of the reasons why people choose not to be responsible is that those around them are not, and no one wants to slave for others, so instead of being a light, people would rather be in darkness because they do not want to work so hard for lazy people to reap the benefits of their labor.
The thoughts of not wanting to be a sacrificial lamb for others is a proof that we inherently detest laziness. However, we can easily become what we despise, and that is simply the truth.
In my opinion, I do not mind illuminating someone else's path while also doing so for myself. I know it is heartbreaking to see yourself working or slave for others, but unless you are wealthy and live on an island, putting up with lazy people is unavoidable, albeit one of the most depressing things ever.
