“By sloth, I do not mean laziness. Sloth is militant indifference, apathy, and thoughtlessness. Sloth is willful joynessless in the face of God’s presence, purpose, and intentions… We betray our humanity when we are willfully blind, when we refuse to reflect, when we fail to ask questions, when we never ponder. Sloth is deadly inasmuch as it directly attacks and undermines human thoughtfulness and reflection.” The Noonday Demon, John Blackwell
