From a less intellectually pretentious viewpoint, yes, lazy as well.  |
I've been called a lotta things, but never have I been described as less intellectualy pretentious than anyone.
I was following this line of thought: violence is bad, compromise and understanding is good, violence is easy compromise and understanding is hard. Choosing violence over compromise and understanding is like choosing bad and easy over good and hard. From there it's not a big leap to lazy.
I think of the times when there was violence in my life, and your shorthand works well. It was easier to choose violence to push across the finish line than it was to labor at compromise and understanding. Whether I dress up the violence in the clothes of laziness, exasperation or fear, is not, in my experience, relevant. There have been no experiences where it was "me or him". And yet, violence.
When I ask myself "Why?", lazy is as good as any other answer and better than most.
