I DO think it's in human nature to want to take the path of least resistance or at least it's in our biology.

As many steps as humany takes to differentiate ourselves from the animal kingdom, reality is we are and - up until the point we can digitize ourselves - always will be animals.

Have you ever had a moment where you were just kind of observing animals? They are super lazy. If they don't need to do something right now they won't, because biologically, existance is an energy managment game.

Humans, however, have left the game of energy behind them. We've figured out how to farm and store food, how to build lasting shelter and keep safe.

The problem is that evolution hasn't caught up with our enviroment and not only that, evolution BUILDS on what already exists. The brain - or at least the reptilian brain - will always be trying to play the energy managment game because that's what it was designed to do. The 'human' aspect lies in the newly added cortex feature, but that takes a TON of energy to operate, creating a huge dilemna in yourself almost regularly.

You and your brain know that, realistically, energy isn't a problem. If you're hungry you have a near infinite number of possibilities to obtain food, most of which aren't even that much effort. The reptilian brain doesn't understand this concept.

I would say that it's more about accepting that there is and always will be a little part of you that wants to laze around and balance that out with the part of you that wants to accomplish things and be realized.
