"Why bother?" is the curse of the human race. I saw that somewhere this morning and thought to myself, how true? There is nothing more negative than the feeling that you just can't be bothered but yet it comes so naturally.
I tried to explain the meaning of 'bother' once to a Russian friend and she nodded away in that way that says, I have no idea what you're talking about but if I nod, you might stop sooner. In a country where laziness is a huge problem, there is not direct translation of 'bother'. Why do we have this word in English? It's sad to think this may be a particularly English trait. But that's beside the point.
The point is why bother writing a blog? Well I'm not sure yet but at least I bothered to give it a go so I can feel that at least for today I've escaped the curse.

I agree that laziness can be the route of all evil. You can have all the best intentions in the world, but laziness can bring you and those around you crashing down.
