The Universe of "Lazy"

A visitor said to her hostess, "What a beautiful vase. What's in it?" "My husband's ashes," she replied. The visitor said, "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know he had died." The wife answered, "He hasn't died. He's just too lazy to find an ashtray." (from www.kentcrockett.com) Do you ever feel "lazy"? (Every day, you say?) I found myself wondering what if we lived in an alternate universe of "lazy"? (Some people already do?) Close your eyes. Snap your fingers. There. Now you're in a world where being lazy is a virtue and being productive is a vice. So tomorrow morning just stay in bed (like you always wanted). When you hear the alarm clock going off, hit the snooze button and sleep in. Take your time getting up. Relax. You don't need to be anywhere. Oh, but wait a minute. I just remembered. There is no alarm clock to go off to hit the snooze button on. You see, the person who would have made it never went to work to produce the alarm clock since being lazy is a virtue and being productive is a vice. And then, come to think of it, that bed you're sleeping on, you're not really on it because it's not really there for the same reason the alarm clock isn't there. Neither is there a coffee pot on a stove down the hall with that perfect blend brewing. There is no pot. There is no stove. There is no hall. There is no perfect blend to brew. And on and on, so it goes. There is no shower. There are no clothes to wear. There is no car to drive. There are no roads to drive on. There's no place to go! Such is the scenario in the alternate universe of "lazy." Ready to come back? Snap.
