Are you tired and lazy in your inner being, or robust and energetic?

I sense that more often than not I am of the former, for brief periods of time the latter comes alive, and it is to this what i'm reading now is addressing, that work is all there is, and false work is when you feel like you need holidays from it, true work is like a real holiday, when there's such a zest for what you're doing. From that comes the best we have to offer, for ourselves and to others. Perhaps my tiredness and laziness is just for a time when I gather my wits so to speak, and calm down from getting all excited about my things, and letting those things enter the bloodstream of my neverending thoughts. It is then that the remaining time will be spent well, not wasted on inconsequentials that are unnecessary and unprofitable.

I'm the old man sitting on street cutb listening to the philosopher all day until the sun is about and he prepares to go home. He looks down at me and says "What did you learn today my old friend"
I replied I learned my body is tired and my ass no longer has enough cushion. My legs don't work and I should never sit in this position again because my knees won't bend either.
He asked if I needed help getting up which I thankful and said yes.
Once up I said Today I learned something else. I don't know crap about philosophy but Protagoras Socrates was absolutely correct about you. As his face began turning red I got my legs to moving.

Almost always without energy and lazy. I'm turning into a snake, I need to lie in the sun to charge the batteries and only then I can look at the world somehow differently.
