About this episode

You may think of a lazy animal when you hear the word "sloth", but it's also a vice! That is, being a sloth is characteristic of bad character. It means what you probably think it means - being lazy - but can be more properly described as "neglecting one's duties". In the privileged world that we live in, it can be hard for us to appreciate the importance of work before play. In this episode, I discuss what being a sloth means, why it's a vice, and how we should be thinking about work and play. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
