If you have some extra time on your hands this Canada Day weekend, watch one of the youtube videos of a sloth crossing the road (eg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-tfsL9Kq8R8). Sloth is the third of the capital vices and it is not always characterized by slow and lazy behaviour. In fact, busyness and workaholism are sloth's classic symptoms! "The slothful person," writes Rebecca Konyndyk deYoung in her book Glittering Vices, "tries to find happiness while evading the daily demands of self-giving love." Sloth - it's deadly.
