Quote by Neal Shusterman
Lethargy. It's a word I know, because it's in one of my father's favorite expressions. Lethargy breeds lethargy. It means the more you lie around doing nothing, the more you want to lie around doing nothing. Your limbs and your mind feel so heavy that it becomes a major effort just to lift your arm to channel surf.
Summary
This quote highlights the concept of lethargy and its self-perpetuating nature. Lethargy, or extreme laziness and lack of energy, leads to further inactivity and a desire to continue being inactive. The heaviness experienced in both the body and mind worsens, making even mundane tasks seem incredibly difficult, such as the struggle to lift one's arm to change TV channels. The quote suggests that once caught in the cycle of lethargy, it becomes increasingly challenging to break free and regain motivation or productivity.
