Hey, shouldn't I be working?

[motely36]

I just don't feel like it. Plus hanging out on DU is much more fun.

1. Yeah, but it's almost Friday and almost Christmas and almost lunchtime

let's not rush into anything. Work will always be there. Goofing off is transitory. (I can rationalize anything.)

2. I hate that I feel guilty about goofing off

or is that a good thing?

3. Goofing off is healthy!

If you work all the time, pretty soon you become obsessive-compulsive and then you are a major pain to everyone around you (boy, do I know some of these people), so to guard against mental illness it is necessary to goof off. Life (and the Tao) is all about balance (and rationalizations).
