Quote by Michel De Certeau
Along with the lazy man... the dying man is the immoral man: the former, a subject that does not work; the latter, an object that no longer even makes itself available to be worked on by others.
Summary
This quote suggests that, morally, the lazy man and the dying man share a similar position. The lazy man is depicted as someone who refuses to work and contribute, while the dying man is portrayed as someone who can no longer be of use to others or improve himself. Both individuals are portrayed as lacking moral value in different ways - one by choice, the other by circumstance. The quote emphasizes the notion that one's actions or inactions can reflect their morality, and being unproductive or unresponsive renders them immoral.
