Weak and Lazy.
The cycle of life is never without its challenges. Just as we think we have arrived at a place or time where we can rest and things will be easier, new trials arise. This applies to eras as well. We might think we are much better off within the current system of technocratic comfort, but we aren't. The challenges of this "ease" bring a profound suffering—a great stress and a systemic weakening that we are all feeling and manifesting today.
It is a vicious cycle: every shortcut leads to weaker legs, and as a result, a more painful path ahead. Today’s nawal teaches us about the deep faults in our lives and how we must consider releasing ourselves from them. It all points back to the mother of all vices: laziness. This vice takes hold when we are unaware of our divine human nature and fall back into the level of a domesticated animal, ignoring everything to simply follow our programmed instincts. It is "natural" to follow the path of least resistance and to act from the principle of energy preservation.
Every day, including today, we are faced with the challenge of pushing beyond our comfort zones. Why make it if you can buy it? Why walk if you can drive? Maintaining our autonomy means remaining conscious of our physical selves and the constant need for regulation, strengthening, and the building of tolerance. Don’t take the high road, don’t take the low road—stay in the middle.
