(1) Hmmm … What is the POSITIVE to Not Being Motivated? (2) It allows us to DEVELOP our Discipline muscles. (3) Discipline is how we think - … (4) What if I DON'T WANT Discipline? (5) Hmmm, are we then ADDICTED to Lazy? (6) What is the CURE for ADDICTION to Lazy?

(7) SEEING THE FUTURE. Why do some people seem to succeed and others not so much? Why are those who seem to struggle with success jealous of those who are successful? When we think about addictions, we often think of drugs or alcohol … but when you think about it, is the root/core reason for any / every addiction … entitlement? Think about it. What does a person with an addiction do? It’s like something inside their brain says … “I deserve this feeling.” Once they experience that feeling and no work is required to get it, the brain wants to feel it more and more. Watch this video, “The Biology of Addiction,” about the brain and what happens with alcohol. ~ click here ~ Jot down a few notes and then write down the name of the laziest person ©

Do Others Around You Feel / Say This? "Nothing is going to happen ... and even if the worst happens, it will be fine and even if we're not fine ... things are what they are ... and even if it's not OK ... it's not my fault anyways, so it's all good."

NOTES: ●​ Addicted to Lazy is, in many ways, like a handicap, like autism, and there is a spectrum … a range of this addiction.” ●​ If you read this white paper, you are likely lower on the spectrum than someone who will not read it. ●​ If you have someone in your life that you are fearful of giving this white paper to … well … that’s a great indicator that that person is far higher on the spectrum, and they have trained you to be fearful or just tired … kind of given up on them and their willingness even to try not to be lazy. Should you get them out of your life? Hard to say. It's hard to get them out of your life, probably … but is it more challenging to keep them in your life? ●​ Most lazy people will not acknowledge that they are lazy. Most seem to believe they aren’t, honestly. But at a subconscious level, they know they are actually. This is why they act the way they do toward you. We say … just rip off the band-aid and give them the white paper or leave it around the house. Yes, they will likely get upset at you … but … who cares! They don’t care enough about you to consider something you are concerned about. ○​ You can’t get much more lazy than that! You are concerned about how their laziness hurts your relationship, and they won’t even take a few minutes to read something and have an adult conversation?!?! Wow … and they use fear, drama, anger, silence, raised voice, killing you to death with explanations of why it’s not true and you’re the lazy one, and they aren’t. ■​ When you learn “not to care” about what the lazy person feels, says, or does … you will empower them to take personal ownership of their laziness. Strangely, they are right; you are the problem… but not how they think. You are the problem because you allow them to be terrorists. ●​ Now … laziness can come in many forms. It’s not just physical labor or working to put food on the table. It’s FAR more than © Voices Of Integrity

that. This white paper will explore the many aspects of being lazy. ○​ Physical ○​ Emotional ○​ Mental

○​ Relational ○​ Moral ○​ Spiritual

So … What is the cure for being addicted to being lazy? Maybe there isn’t a cure? Maybe there is an awareness on each of our part, some more than others, that in every one of us there is this nature that we must be aware of and we must learn to think differently?

To produce different results in our lives, we need to learn to think differently. The Flawless Thinking model helps us to learn to SEE ~ THINK & DO differently from many angles. Let’s look at the PAST ~ PRESENT and FUTURE from the perspective of our personalities. Is “Entitlement + Feelings” the core reason for every addiction? Is it our mind thinking, "I deserve to feel this way” Think about it. Drugs, alcohol, pornography … the more we get of these three things, the more we want. They produce a feeling without any work or effort. Just like in the “Biology To Addiction” video, the more we get of something, the more the brain wants. The brain craves to feel a certain way without the Work, Sacrifices, and positive Risks. © Voices Of Integrity

We need to discipline our minds, to learn how to THINK differently, which gives us the ability to SEE things we haven’t seen before, which gives us the ability to DO things we’ve never imagined possible. But many times we need to have “faith” and DO something that we don’t SEE, which then gives us the ability to THINK differently. There are six possible combinations. SEE THINK DO SEE DO THINK

What’s the solution for not being addicted to laziness?

1. SEE the FUTURE What is the future? It could be the next 10 minutes from now. It could be the next 10 days, 10 weeks, 10 years or longer. It could be the next 10 days, 10 weeks, 10 years, 100 years, 1,000 years … AFTER

our death. It seems that most people don’t give their death much thought, much less “after death.” SEE our world view or even life view … how we SEE our FUTURE world governs what we do in the present a great deal. If we don’t think about “after death” or we don’t think there is anything after death, then it makes a lot of sense to live for the moment, live in the moment. If we don’t think we’ll live to retire, it makes sense that we would live a life of consumption. Working, sacrificing, and taking risks that may not pay off for decades doesn’t make sense if we don’t think we’ll see the benefits of the Work / Sacrifice and Risks. What’s tough … is when we live a life of consumption … consumption … well … consumes us. Think about it. If a child doesn’t have to work for things, they are just given © Voices Of Integrity

things. As a general rule, they not only don’t appreciate what they have but often think they are entitled to more. And the more they are given, the more they expect and spiral down the path of addiction, just like that of a drug addict.

Interesting … isn’t it!? So what’s the next step? Well … not being lazy … “What do you think the next step is?” Before getting our input, take a few minutes and think about what you think the next steps could be. ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________

Q&A ~ Questions & Answers Q1: Why are people who read this fearful of giving this to others? Answer: Lazy people are masters at training people around them to not call them out. And it’s even more than that. Lazy people train people around them to not ask questions, not talk about certain things and for sure don’t ever challenge them with anything their minds don’t want to consider. Solution: Give them this white paper and let the chips fall wherever they fall. Yes, they will be angry, they may not talk to you for some long period of time, (but is that really bad?) they will likely gossip about you, say bad things to the kids, family members, friends … anyone and everyone that will listen. They are like terrorists or 2 year olds who throw a tantrum, and if you give into them, they will do it more and more. If they give you any crap … up the stakes and start sharing this white paper with your children and everyone else in the lazy person’s life. Q2: Why do people who are addicted to laziness come together? Answer: They are weak, know it, and hope that as a herd of lazy people, they can survive and live off those who produce. Solution: Give everyone in the group this white paper.

Q3: Do lazy people know they are lazy? Answer: Generally no, they do not know, but it is strange why they do. How can they not know? In part, lazy people surround themselves with other lazy people so most people in their groups / networks are lazy in the same way they are and lazy people won’t call out other people who are like them. IMPORTANT NOTE: There are some crazy lazy people who have “mind shifted” their minds so much that they are proud of being lazy and think it’s a good thing. They think they are smarter than other people. And those same people … who are so very smart, can’t seem to connect the dots why their spouse doesn’t respect them and why others don’t want to be around them? They often are men. They often had a mom that told them they were really smart and still do and they haven’t figured out that their mom lied to them. Why would a mom lie to her son? It’s often due to an emptiness in her own heart / mind and soul where she is consciously creating an emotional connection with her son that will hurt him the rest of his life … if he doesn’t see it and change it, which many men never will see / do. Are these men both ignorant and stupid? You decide. Solution: Give everyone in the group this white paper. Q4: So … how do you get a lazy person to see it? Answer: Great question. When you find the answer to that question, let us know. ☺️ Let’s start with the importance of doing this. If that person has children, it’s more important because if there is one lazy spouse … the children will migrate to the lazy spouses way of thinking.

Q5: This stupid white paper doesn’t work! Why? Answer: Because people don’t want it to. Why? Well … they CAN’T or WON’T SEE the future. Why? I think it comes down to people being lazy? Why? I think it comes back to pride … People think they are really smart and they can game the system. Q6: Are all personalities lazy? Answer: Yes. It seems that all personalities can be lazy. And it seems like all personalities will have certain mental health risks if they don’t overcome laziness.

Q7: Why do people black out & what do we do about it? Answer: It’s the most interesting thing when people ghost you. They won’t return your phone calls, emails … it’s like they’ve died? Why is that? Sometimes it’s that you’ve asked a question they don’t like and they are fearful of you, or ashamed of themselves. Sometimes they are angry and they want to punish you and they have so much ego, think so highly of themselves that they think they are punishing you by not talking to them. That seems childish. Why would they do that? There are various reasons obviously but often it’s due to some childhood trauma where they got hurt, never healed and so they are emotionally stunted in their growth. It’s

strange, where one would think that people would intuitively know that if they don’t make a breakthrough from the dimensional GAP they are stuck in, that they will become who they were created to be. But … When you think about it, it kind of makes sense. In life people often seem to “get stuck” getting used to where they are. People who live in filthy © Voices Of Integrity

living conditions, where things smell like a dump yard, get used to it. Seems like this is the same thing with mental health and wellness as well. Q8: So … are all groups of people always lazy? Answer: Hmmm … we hope our answer won’t offend you. Think about it. It’s kind of a stupid question when you think about it. Of course, not everyone in all groups is always lazy about everything. Right!? But the good news is that if you ask this question, it does put you on the “lazy spectrum.” Why? People who take things to the extreme by asking questions about them are always mentally lazy in that they want things as black and white and don’t want to acknowledge that they and the group they are associated with are lazy. Q9: Hmmm … can you tell me more about groups? Answer: It's good to think about things before you ask others to do all the thinking for you. Right?! So think about groups … the dynamic of groups. The purpose of a group and the pros and cons of being in any group of people. Q10: Are lazy people stupid … or just ignorant? Answer: Let’s start out with defining each word so hopefully we are all on the same page. Sadly, it seems, they are both often.

Ignorant ~ Not KNOWING what to DO. Stupid ~ Not DOING what we KNOW. https://www.voicesofintegrity.com/voi-powerful-video-library#section--19819

Q11: Are people who trust others lazy? + Black & White Answer: Our first thought might be … “No, of course! Trusting people is a good thing!” But … think about it for just a minute, is that true? Lazy people often think in terms of Black and white, in terms of things that are always true or never true, which, when you think of it, is a pretty stupid/lazy way to think. Trusting people isn’t always lazy, and it’s not always lazy either. So … when is trusting people lazy? Now, you’re getting the hang of it. Be CURIOUS & ASK QUESTIONS! It’s lazy when we know we shouldn’t trust them. We shouldn’t trust a toddler not to walk in the street when there is traffic. We shouldn’t trust a 20-year-old guy who struggles with maybe not fully thinking things through or thinking into the future to confirm dinner reservations for a group of people if he hasn’t done that in the past. If someone hasn’t been trained to do something, we shouldn’t trust that they will be able to do it and do it right? Trusting people who have not proven to be trustworthy is generally lazy. When we trust people we shouldn’t trust, we often blame them rather than taking personal ownership. As a general rule you should not trust the amiable to be firm and direct with people, the analytic to see the big picture, the expressive to follow through with things that aren’t fun and the driver to have people like them.

Also, if you’re not lazy, you won’t do the hard things for them but will coach and nurture them to become all they were created to be, helping them learn to do those things that don’t come easy for them. Q12: OK … so after SEEING what’s next? Answer: What’s challenging about the Flawless thinking model is that we often don’t actually SEE things until we or until we THINK.

DO

SEE THINK DO // THINK SEE DO // DO THINK SEE SEE DO THINK // THINK DO SEE // DO SEE THINK

Often we think we SEE, only to find out when we DO, we actually didn’t SEE things so well. What’s REALLY important is that we’re always THINKING while we are DOING things.

that

So … let’s look at DOING next. There are 26 different major elements in the Flawless Thinking model and tens of thousands of sub elements. What’s so interesting about DO is that when we DO, it tends to create great HUMILITY along with amazing confidence. Why? See … when we DO things, they most frequently DO NOT WORK which leads to humility … unless … we are with a large group of people. Why? Large groups of people have this strange tendency to fail as a group and still be able to celebrate the failure and do a mindshift, as a group, and think of it as a success. It’s strange … but now that you’ve been exposed to this type of thinking, you are no longer IGNORANT. Every group you are a part of will have some level of spectrum and the group will subconsciously brainwash you, seduce you into not challenging © Voices Of Integrity

them. If you’re saying “But that’s not true. I’m part of ______________ and they are different from other groups.” Are you sure? ☺️ If you are confident in this position let’s do a test. Let’s print out this white paper and share it with everyone in the group. ☺️ You won’t do it will you? And the strangest thing is that you’ll create a mindshift moment where you will come up with some “reason” as to why you won’t share it with the group and in your own mind your reason will make sense. Then when we learn to SEE things as the truth, we’ll SEE that we won’t DO because we fear … are aware that the group would not like us to share this … as it challenges the group.

Q13: So are those abused more likely to be lazy? Answer: Maybe? Before responding an angry way, often the way lazy and people who were abused respond, think about the Truth that may be in here like a gold mine just waiting to be discovered. If someone goes through any type of abuse, it should be pretty easy for us have empathy for that person and feel pain they may have faced. What if … something happens in the brain of the abused person, at the time the abuse and their brain literally shuts down because they feel they are helpless?

What happens if the abuse kind of “cuts” the synopsis in their brains … the part where we learn how to handle fear or conflict or how to connect what we are angry about to the actual event? What if we are not able to connect the dots? Or maybe we are unwilling? Is there a hardline between being unwilling and unable or is it a more fluid line? It would make sense as to why we may get angry, and not even actually know where the core of the anger is coming from? So … if a young child learns from the abuse … “There is nothing I can do to prevent the abuse.” … or maybe they learn “It is what it is.” And they learn it’s a lot easier to be lazy and just accept whatever it is and avoid any conflict … they learn to be lazy and … in a strange way, it works for them as well as the abuser. Strange … right? So … are people who are lazy, in part due to abuse, subject to being lazy their entire lives, or is there some way to heal? Is there any hope for the people around the lazy person, or do they have two choices. One would be to leave the lazy person or two would be to “just accept it as best as they can?” Talk to the person who passes this along to you and form groups of three or more to dig into finding solutions.

Q14: I thought being lazy was smart? Answer: Well … that’s one way to think about it. Maybe … ask this question “When you are smart and figure out a faster way to do things, what do you do with your new found free time?” Often people who work hard physically are lazy mentally and those who work hard mentally are often lazy physically. There are too many people in this world who are lazy both mentally and physically and a lot of other ____________ly’s. What can we do to help them? There are a few precious people … and not sure they are lucky who seem to have discovered their life vision “Their Why” … “What they were put on this planet for.” and maybe they aren’t so lucky, in a way, because others will feed / live off of them. Q15: Is it that people are lazy, or that they just haven’t found the right job? Answer: We won’t disagree with this statement as disagreeing is actually stupid / lazy as well so we don’t want to be a bad example. Disagreeing is stupid / lazy because we jump to conclusions that we know what a person is saying. Shoot, that person doesn’t even know what they are saying. Not fully. Not deeply. Over our life we say something and think we know what we’re saying, but later in life what we said has a much deeper meaning. This is what we call the quantum world of thinking / being. If someone hasn’t found the “right job” and stays in that job, aren’t they lazy in working hard to find the right job? Do lazy people complain about their job, their boss, the clients, co-workers … pretty much everything. Yepper … it seems that lazy people have a lot of drama, do a lot of complaining … rather than roll up their sleeves and fix whatever they see is a problem.

Q&A ~ Marriage ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WARNING: Ideally you are reading this BEFORE you get married. If the person you are dating or engaged won’t read this and have a discussion on this … then best to run for the hills. Those who are married to someone who is lazy, can feel like a living hell. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

M-Q1: How can you tell if someone you are dating is lazy? Answer: Months later … They don’t read this white paper, or if they do they don’t see that there is no answer to this question … and ask questions to push the answer. M-Q2: Is there any hope for a marriage if you have a lazy spouse? Answer: Sadly … there doesn’t seem there is. Sure Christian marriage counselors and pastors love to pray … say read the bible … forgive 70 times 7 … but they themselves will NEVER and we do mean NEVER practice what they preach … and no one and we do mean NO ONE will call them out. Pastors will get up and preach in front of everyone and say that the church has a policy of: ●​ We warned you once. ●​ We warn you twice. ●​ And the third time … you’re out. Lazy spouses congregate together … you know … in churches and other places. It’s an addition. © Voices Of Integrity

M-Q3: How much does a lazy spouse impact the children? Answer: Most children, it seems, will see that the lazy spouse gets what they want, takes the most, gives the least and the feelings of the lazy spouse get “taken care” so … most of the kids will learn to become lazy. M-Q4: Can a spouse use “I’m depressed to get what they want?” Answer: Depression is actually something that is most interesting. One “father-in-law” said to his daughter-in-law … “Honey, you are one of the laziest people I have ever met. And you know honey, you taking meds for your depression won’t fix the heart of the issue, which is laziness. See … you won’t feel the pain of laziness while you’re on the meds but once the meds wear off you’ll still be depressed because you’re lazy. There are obviously more causes for depression than just being lazy, but it’s a big one and when you think about it, maybe everything connects back to laziness of one form or another? It’s worth some hard conversations for sure. Try working hard in every area of your life and see how that works. SEE, depression takes a LOT of energy and if you have no energy at the end of the day … you’ve worked so hard in all areas … you fall into bed and fall asleep almost instantly and your brain goes to work while you sleep and you feel great! Now if you have a spouse who is … how do you say it … a crazy person … mentally ill and is so selfish that they suck the very life out of you that’s interesting to think about. Is your crazy / mentally ill spouse so smart that they know, consciously or subconsciously, that if they can deprive you of sleep, if they can wear you out, if they can make everything about them and their feelings that you won’t have time to seek a divorce. Yes, we’ve seen that. © Voices Of Integrity

Can a spouse who is a sociopath “antisocial personality disorder, sometimes called sociopathy, is a mental health condition in which a person consistently shows no regard for right and wrong and ignores the rights and feelings of others.” drain the very life out of

you? Is someone who is depressed addicted to the feeling of depression so they can justify getting what they think they want and/or make REALLY bad choices in life and justify those choices and blame it on someone else? M-Q5: Why is self discipline so important in a marriage?” Answer: You know … well … you won’t know and if you’re addicted to laziness you want to take any time to think about this … to ruminate on this … write out the answer to this question and it will be clear to everyone, except the lazy person how clueless you really are about self-discipline. M-Q6: Are people who have affairs lazy?” Answer: Yep, it seems that way … at least at first. Having an affair (emotional or physical) while married is often due to laziness. On which spouses part? Great question. It’s actually almost always on the sides of both spouses, but not usually 50/50. Do both spouses work as hard to romance each other as they did before they were married? If both spouses are working their bums off to build a better future there is no time / energy for an affair. It’s said … “If you invested as much energy into your spouse as you did into the person you were having an affair with, then your spouse would have responded to you like the person you were having an affair with.” Does the lazier spouse, by default, allow the affair to seek to gain leverage in the marriage? Does the lazier spouse want to control the other spouse and actually on a subconscious level actually want their spouse to have the © Voices Of Integrity

22


affair as they know they can hold it over the other person and weaponize it? Yes, it seems, that’s often the case. It’s like the “submissive” / “nice” spouse is actually not actually so nice / smart but actually really messed up and maybe don’t even know it. Sadly medication, it seems will never actually fix the core heart problem and most counseling, it seems won’t fix it either. Why? Well … many if not most of those in the mental health profession will hate this but it seems true more than it’s not where those in the mental health profession are all messed up and haven’t healed themselves. They often get a dopamine hit their brain thinking they are caring for people when in fact themselves haven’t healed and the blind leading the blind. love the feeling of self-righteousness, entitlement being a victim and they are attracted to others who are just this … and they get paid to ~ click here ~

in they it’s They and like boot.

See if you can connect the dots ~ click here ~ with affairs and revenge / bitterness. The damage that is done in an affair is crazy! Who does it damage the most? Probably the one who makes the poor choices … which is almost always both spouses to one degree. How do you help the “stupid spouse” , the lazy spouse … the spouse that doesn’t seem to notice the vulnerability of their spouse and almost © Voices Of Integrity

23


encourages it in a strange way? If you’re the blind spouse … you’re not connecting the dots, well you will. See … at a subconscious level, you may “hope your spouses” cheats on you … what you don’t realize is that your spouse may actually find someone who loves them the way they want to be loved and leave you. Yepper … your spouse, even if they are trained the divorce is wrong they may leave you. Yes, you’ll be able to live in your victimhood which will lead to self-righteousness and that leads to entitlement and you’ll get in another relationship and the same thing will likely happen again. Eventually hopefully you’ll learn and get your lazy (sorry) head out of your ass and work your ass ~ click here ~ off for the marriage and not make it about yourself. For the spouse that is feeling your spouse isn’t meeting your needs and someone else comes along that does. Well … get a divorce BEFORE you have a physical or emotional affair. If you aren’t getting from your spouse what you feel you need then seek to figure out leverage. If your spouse is happy with the marriage and you’re not then you’re giving your spouse what they need which is why they are happy. But you’re not getting what you need so … find out what you’re giving them what they need and take it away. Often, especially with religious couples, the spouse that is lazy, they are addicted to the feeling they get when they TALK about being a loving spouse / parent. They will SAY things or DO things in public, in front of people that they won’t do at home. So … nicely call them out … yep … right in front of their family, church friends, and others. So … I’m curious _________, can you tell me why you are so nice, helpful and love to me in front of our friends at church, but not at home?”

© Voices Of Integrity

If you’re thinking “I could never do that.” That is what your spouse is counting on. The first time you do this it will shock your spouse. Don’t be fearful and follow up with a one two punch and say “When we get home will you get mad at me and yell at me like you have in the past? Why don’t you treat me and the kids as good at home as you do in public?” Of course it will feel awkward … but your children and people around you will be shocked and impressed. They actually know it’s happening … they can feel it. If your spouse becomes a verbal and emotional terrorist then bring it out in public every time. If they attack you at home or mistreat you in any way just say … “Honey, you poor thing. It’s got to be miserable to be you and be one way in public and another way at home. I’m helping you and “Yes!” I’m going to seek to be consistent and when you mistreat me or the kids at home, I will speak up in public to help you to become the person you were created to be.” … OR … The lazy spouse wants their spouse to have an affair. Why? Well it gives them the upper hand. It’s the strangest thing … It’s like the lazy person has all these feelings … so many feelings … They want to be a victim so they treat their spouse in such a way that they push them, drive them hard to have an affair so they can FEEL like they are the victim, they are the self-righteous one and that gives them the right to be entitled the rest of their lives.

Q&A ~ Work / Business W-Q1: Should we just stop the work? Answer: If you think that’s an option … then you likely are lazy. Even if things don’t work, we’re still learning. Lazy people come up with a lot of “reasons” why they don’t do things. Eventually their brains become so lazy, they just move to not even trying. You know … “It’s not going to work anyway so why try.” > What’s funny or even sad is that people who say … “Just stop” or “Why start?” are so lazy they won’t even start. W-Q2: What if people won’t / can’t connect the dots? Answer: If a person is blind you’re not going to get upset that they can’t see. What’s strange is that often blind people can see things in a room of people that those who can see, can’t even see. If someone asked you to read this question or series of questions, will you go the extra mile and read the “Connect the Dots” ~ click here ~ without being asked or do you need to be asked to do everything? And if you have to be asked to do things, are you the type of person who will need someone to babysit you? Will someone need to remind you over and over again and again? Are you the type of person who is so lazy when asked / recommended to do something you “simply won’t do it” and you won’t say anything about not doing it, you just won’t do it. And if someone comes back around to you to ask if you are so lazy that you’ll say “I don’t remember that.” … or maybe … “I don’t see the benefit of doing that.

person. It would seem clear that you only care about yourself and that’s why you don’t care about anything unless you personally see the benefit. Why are you like this? Likely you were hurt in some way as a child and you never fully healed from it so you started to become “addicted to laziness” and it’s taking over more and more of your heart, mind and soul.

Q&A ~ Groups G-Q1: Are groups more susceptible to stupidity? Answer: According to Dietrich Bonhoeffer, the answer is “Yes. When people come together, are more susceptible to being stupid.

G-Q2: If I disagree with the video, am I stupid? Answer: Well … let’s so “maybe not” but maybe you are the sharpest tool in the tool shed. Just saying. Being part of any group of people, regardless of what type of group we are part of it seems that we buy into what that group is saying. In any group of people, it seems that there isn't much decent “allowed.” G-Q3: Why are people in “groups” so stupid? Answer: Think about it. Who is the most dangerous person to a group of people? It’s someone who is / has been in that group. A white male over 50 years old (WM50+) who sees how stupid so many WM50+ are is the most dangerous to the WM50+. A black man / woman who is successful in spite of the oppression / the past is a threat to other blacks. Why? It proves scientifically that in spite of the past that you can be black and succeed. A woman who can overcome the disadvantages of being a woman in business and can succeed is a threat to other women. A woman who sees, embraces the MANY advantages of being a woman in America especially is a treat to all the other women who are whiners and complainers. © Voices Of Integrity

28


See … groups hate individuality … because it’s a threat to the group. People love to take all the benefits of being part of the group and none of the downside. That’s stupid … i.e. lazy! G-Q4: Why do people over-identify with a group? Answer: Well …

Q&A ~ Men ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WARNING: If you are a woman, you will love this. Getting a man to even read this is hard to do. If you are a man reading this … wow … good for you. One of the biggest advantages of being a man is that people tend to be more direct with men than they are with women … or … at least that’s how it used to be. Be careful as a man not to tune those people around you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Men-Q1: Are men lazy? Answer: NOTE: Isn’t it interesting that nothing is filled out here? Is it that men are not only lazy but also don’t want to know the truth about themselves … OR … is it that women are so lazy they won’t share what they see in men and men are so busy trying to clean up the crap of others they know they are lazy … but are so exhausted from trying to put food on the table, keep a roof over the heads, be the perfect husband and the perfect father that they know they are lazy and are working on it? Great question. Sadly … It seems there are fewer and fewer of these types of men around and they are usually over 50 years old and the younger men see how hard they have worked and the sacrifices they have made and that no one appreciates them so … they don’t want to end up like that. Go ahead women … share your thoughts. If you have lazy men in your life, those men … who are true men, men who have invested their whole lives into others, will kick the asses of the men in your life who are lazy. Oh … just make sure that you aren’t a lazy woman because older men may just say “You deserve to have the lazy men in your life that you do.” © Voices Of Integrity

Q&A ~ Women ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WARNING: If you are a woman, you will likely not like this. If you’re one of the few women who do like this … well … it would seem to men that you are a unicorn. If you get angry … or say “But … men also …” or you say “All women aren’t …” … or you say “you can’t stereotype women … well … just being honest, we feel sorry for the men in your life. No judgement, just an observation is that you over identify with women as a group which gives away much of your individuality and objectivity to grow. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

W-Q1: Are men lazy? Answer: It’s a pretty interesting question isn’t it? Do women tend to be defensive and immediately when asked a hard question, use their magical mental judo and as a reflex try to flip the question and say “Well men are … to justify their own weaknesses.” W-Q2: Are women’s reasons ever to be questioned? Answer: Do you mean that everything that a woman does or doesn't do that she has a reason for it? Yes! Yes, you can ask a woman why she does something … most of the time … as long as when the woman explains herself that you do not cross-examine anything she gives as a reason as what she is saying … seems to her, to be like the words of God. If you cross examine her line of thinking … well … it’s like you are questioning God and you’ll pay a very dear price. W-Q3: What if I’m a man and I think these questions are sexist? Answer: Well … as a man, do you think women have a sense of humor? Do you think you have a sense of humor? Well … let’s test the theory out that you have a sense of humor. Are you ready? © Voices Of Integrity

31


Oh …, and if you do not have a sense of humor, do not read the following! Why? Based on university studies, … and we know that universities have a lot of really smart people so the studies tell us a lot … 76% of women and 24% of men not only do not have a sense of humor but also they are incapable of taking personal ownership of even the simplest things … i.e. their own feelings. OK … here we go. So we just want to understand your question. You’re a man and you think that asking women hard questions is sexism? Do you also find that you have questions about your own sexuality / gender? If you do, no judgement, it’s just a question. It seems that most women, and 24% of the men, most of the time, aren’t asked the hard questions so they don’t grow thick skin … or … we could be vulgar and say that 76% of women and 24% of men haven’t “grown a pair.” Again, we warned you about not proceeding if you don’t have a sense of humor. When we say “women” we are referring to the 76% of women and 24% of men who seem to be lazy and weak and tend to come together as a group to get all the benefits from those who work hard. They have learned that if they come together and yell enough, have enough drama, that they feel (and wow are their feelings important) better. They feel better! Nothing has changed, they just are feeling. They feel self-righteous (better than others), they feel entitled (their ancestors / others in their group) and they feel like victims. They have learned to channel all the wrongs that have been done to “against them,” and all they can do is yell/scream/march… to feed the monster inside of them. They are lazy and don’t even realize it. © Voices Of Integrity

32


They aren’t able to DO anything to change themselves or women/men who are abused and mistreated. W-Q4: Do those who have had bad things happen to them repeatedly become lazy because they figure working hard won’t change anything? Laziness is a disease that eats people from the inside out and permits them to blame others for their sadness, anger, depression, guilt, and whatever negative behavior they can find. It makes one believe that being angry at least will give them a feeling.

Q&A ~ Education ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WARNING: If you are an educator, you likely will be offended by what is shared below. Remember … God often offends the mind to reveal the heart. Educators are supposed to be great at being open minded … There are no dumb questions and confidence in having adult conversations. Right? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ed-Q1: Do public schools produce addictions to laziness? Answer: We can answer that question. Do teacher’s unions want classrooms to be graded? Do unions embrace competition through charter schools because they have confidence, or do they fight any type of accountability/measurement of success? Ed-Q2: Why do kids tend to choose lazy vs. working hard? Answer: Why do children tend to choose sugar rather than something healthy for them?

© Voices Of Integrity

33


Ed-Q3: Do public schools tend to create lazy students? Answer: Do school unions know that if they have lazy students and lazy teachers, they can just sit back and be lazy themselves and enslave all the teachers, all the students, and the community at large to do their bidding? Ed-Q4: Are the majority of school teachers lazy? Answer: Again, you answer that. Why are the school unions run as they are? If most teachers hated what the teachers' unions were doing, wouldn’t they work hard to get more substantial and more decisive in place? Ed-Q5: If you’re around lazy people, will you become lazy too? Answer: Teachers may be a great example of this. Do teachers fight to have more days teaching students, or are they all right with more legal holidays / in-service days? Are teachers generally thankful/grateful for their compensation and crazy insane benefits they get, or are they usually never happy, always entitled, always wanting … feeling they deserve more and more when the results of their teaching … the students getting worse and worse? Do the teachers teach students gratitude or entitlement by their attitudes? Ed-Q6: Are teachers full of fear … of the union and other teachers? Answer: Will teachers stand up, speak up, and fight for the students, or will the good teachers who see the craziness cower in fear of looking bad in front of their peers, say nothing, and let the kids continue to suffer in a system that has become a generational trap of mediocrity or worse?

© Voices Of Integrity

34


Ed-Q7: Will teachers teach students to take personal ownership? Answer: Will teachers take personal ownership of more and more students falling behind and failing? Or will many teachers blame it on the taxpayers/government for not providing unlimited funding? Will other teachers blame the unions/government? Will the teachers stay in a school system where they make an excellent income with crazy great benefits/retirement and be a part of the problem, or will they join the charter school movement OR work to vote the union leadership out?

Q&A ~ Pastors / Religious Leaders ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WARNING: If you are a pastor or the spouse of a pastor, you likely will be offended by what is shared below. Remember … God often offends the mind to reveal the heart. Pastors are known for being confident, right? There are no dumb questions and confidence in having adult conversations. Right? And a pastor won’t judge the heart of people who are asking what seems to be hard questions for pastors and those in ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

P-Q1: Will lazy pastors not share this with other pastors? Answer: Yes, lazy pastors will NOT share this white paper with other pastors. Why? See … it seems that pastors spend a lot of time in the bible but struggle with internalizing it and they struggle with being self aware. Again, not all pastors and not all the time but probably most pastors for more of the time then they would like to admit. Think about it. “Why wouldn’t a pastor share this white paper with other pastors?” It’s out of fear. “Perfect love casts out all fear.” What does that mean? Pastors seem terrified of people who ask hard questions and they want to be accepted by other pastors and people in their congregation. They get up and preach every Sunday about faith but do they have enough faith to share with a fellow pastor. If a pastor really wants to faith, challenge them to share this white paper with their leadership team … and even more faith, share it with their congregation. They likely will not share it … out of fear of being challenged … which, when you think about it, is really very sad.

P-Q2: Do lazy pastors get burned out? Answer: Interesting, isn’t it … that you would even ask the question. Why do people get burned out? It’s not because they are working so hard. People / pastors get burned out due to losing hope. Why do pastors lose hope? Is it because they think they are working so hard, but maybe they aren’t? Maybe they are working to be pleasers of men verses pleasers of God and honestly the seminaries, fellow pastors and those who mentor pastors aren’t doing them any favors in teaching them how to seduce people to coming to church and give money, so the pastor can earn a great living and have a great life? Maybe that’s why pastors are getting burned out? Maybe no one is telling them the truth? Maybe the bible is right when it says … “The truth will set you free.” Maybe pastors are enslaved to their own way of thinking and think the congregation is burning them out, when in fact, maybe it’s they themselves and their fellow pastors who are burning themselves out and don’t even know it? P-Q3: Are pastors like teachers/unions in education? Answer: Interesting, isn’t it … that you would even ask the question. When you connect the dots you start seeing things you don’t want to see—just saying. P-Q4: Do groups of people just naturally go down this path? Answer: Right?!?! Great question. It seems like they do, doesn’t it? A pastor just this weekend shared … “Maybe you feel God’s hand to move you from being a businessman in the marketplace, and God is moving you to become a full-time pastor?” If you ask that pastor if he thinks it’s a higher calling to be a pastor than a business owner or in the marketplace, that pastor will likely say “No.” But is that really where their heart is at … or … are their hearts full of pride and © Voices Of Integrity

37


self-righteousness, and the poor souls don’t even know it? And … no one will tell them the truth or even ask the question of them. Why? Because pastors teach people to fear asking questions that pastors don’t like, check out this white paper: “You are training me well. ~ click here ~ ” Pastors teach you that you will be shunned, ostracized, or looked down on if you ask them questions they don’t know the answer to and/or they don’t like the question.

38


P-Q5: Why are pastors so lazy themselves? Answer: That is a complicated answer. However, the Quantum Feeling model helps provide some answers. In the Quantum Feeling model, we learn that three feelings tend to control people … Self-righteousness ~ Victim ~ Entitled. These three factors are addictive, pastors are masters at each.

and

Try giving your pastor this white paper and see their response. You won’t do it, will you? Why not? Because of fear. If you want to be brave and probably get kicked out of the church, print this white paper out and give it to everyone in your small group at church. If anyone questions a pastor … wow. They (not all of them, all the time, but do a test and see what % will do this.) will, as a reflex, become defensive + (9 D’s will kick in. Click here.) Often, the Victim card kicks in for the pastor, and then after that, the Self-righteousness will kick in, and soon to follow, the Entitlement card will kick in. Think about this … you know it’s true more than 1% of the time. Lazy is addictive, and the lazier we are, the more lazy we get. The more energy of being a victim we are, the more self-righteous we are, the more entitled we are …, the more of each of those things we become, and they start to take over our very being.

At a minimum, print off a copy and leave it around the church or in the teachers' lounge. Do be careful of cameras, for sure. It’s weird, but anyone who questions a pastor or a teacher then the pastor/teacher will bring in law enforcement to say that they are feeling threatened, and you could end up in jail for … what? For dropping a white paper?

Q&A ~ Christians ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WARNING: If you are a Christian, you likely will be offended by what is shared below. Remember … God often offends the mind to reveal the heart. Christians are known for being confident, right? There are no dumb questions and confidence in having adult conversations. Right? And Christian’s don’t judge the heart of people who are asking the hard questions about Christians. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

C-Q1: Can someone get to heaven if they are lazy? Answer: This is a MOST interesting question to ask Christians. What’s maybe most interesting is that it seems that almost no Christian or even pastor has ever asked this question of themselves. Why is that? People who are lazy mentally or spiritually will shy away from the hard questions. Pastors, often men, reveal how lazy they are when they avoid questions and people who ask the hard questions. Ralph Miller, a most interesting guy when he was in his mid 70’s was talking with his mother who was 96 years old. She said … “Ralph, you know what the problem is with old people.” Ralph’s a funny guy and said … “No mom, what’s the problem old people have?” She said … “They’re lazy!” Pastors, in mass, it seems, are like those in law enforcement, get burned out. Why is that? ~ click here ~ for additional information on that question. OK … let’s get into the meat of this question. If you attend church, give this to your pastor and ask him / her for their thoughts on it. Trust us, it will be the most interesting conversation you have with them. This is not the type of question that bible school or seminar will prepare them to answer.

Matthew 25:29-30 ~ For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’ Hmmm … have you EVER heard a sermon where a pastor has asked the hard question “Will lazy people get into heaven?” We’re guessing probably not. Why not? Think about it. Are talents God given gifts? If they are, and we don’t use them, leverage them … will we end up in hell? Why won’t pastors or small group leaders in church even entertain this question? And what about … Matthew 7:13 “Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it. “No worries, if you attend the church that I preach at, you’re one of the few.” or … will we? Are we lazy and don’t even know it? Is the root of laziness, fear? And what about … Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’

Parable of the Talents Matthew 25:14-30 ~ English Standard Version 14 “For it will be like a man going on a journey, who called his servants[a] and entrusted to them his property. 15 To one he gave five talents,[b] to another two, to another one, to each according to his ability. Then he went away. 16 He who had received the five talents went at once and traded with them, and he made five talents more. 17 So also he who had the two talents made two talents more. 18 But he who had received the one talent went and dug in the ground and hid his master's money. 19 Now after a long time the master of those servants came and settled accounts with them. 20 And he who had received the five talents came forward, bringing five talents more, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me five talents; here, I have made five talents more.’ 21 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant.[c] You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 22 And he also who had the two talents came forward, saying, ‘Master, you delivered to me two talents; here, I have made two talents more.’ 23 His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master.’ 24 He also who had received the one talent came forward, saying, ‘Master, I knew you to be a hard man, reaping where you did not sow, and gathering where you scattered no seed, 25 so I was afraid, and I went and hid your talent in the ground. Here, you have what is yours.’ 26 But his master answered him, ‘You wicked and slothful servant! You knew that I reap where I have not sown and gather where I scattered no seed? 27 Then you ought to have invested my money with the bankers, and at my coming I should have received what was my own with interest. 28 So take the talent from him and give it to him who has the ten talents. 29 For to everyone who has will more be given, and he will have an abundance. But from the one who has not, even what he has will be taken away. 30 And cast the worthless servant into the outer darkness. In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’

1 John 4 ~ 21st Century King James Version 7 Beloved, let us love one another, for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God. 18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

G-Q1: Are people who are poor lazy? Answer: It’s interesting isn’t it … how when you ask a question like this were certain people … people who are poor, have been poor or people who think they are empathetic to others will get upset at the question. They say “You can’t stereotype people!!!” It’s kind of funny to see people do this actually as it reveals their hearts. Are they ignorant (don’t know what to DO) or are they stupid (don’t DO what they know?) See folks asking questions isn’t stereotyping people. It’s asking questions.

G-Q4: The Medical Community G-Q4-1: Are those who have mental health issues lazy and/or do people who take mental health medicine lazy?

Answer: OK … this is a very delicate question / issue. First off, mental health or illness is a very complex subject with many factors. Obviously, it should go without saying that what we share seems to be global in nature and isn’t true for 100% of the people 100% of the time. This article asks some really hard questions. If the root cause of every addiction is entitlement i.e. laziness it kind of makes sense that those who “believe that they can “pop a pill” and it will solve their issues might be lazy … OR … maybe it reveals laziness in a different area? What if … the medical community as a whole, is lazy and over prescribed medication? Well … we know that the medical community as a whole has done this a LOT over the last 50 years. What if … “the good doctors” are lazy in NOT calling out their fellow doctors … and the entire medical community? Are doctors, like teachers and pastors and other groups where they get both lazy and stupid as they come together?

G-Q5: Attractive & Smart People G-Q5-1: Are attractive people lazy?

Answer: Hmmm … that’s an interesting question for sure! When you read the question, did you think “Are they talking about physically attractive people or internally attractive people?” There are many types of attractive … internal and external attractiveness. It seems that it can be harder to be internally attractive if someone is externally attractive. It’s pretty crazy when someone is both attractive externally and internally and it's crazy sad when someone is not attractive either. Let’s be honest. External attractiveness is really valuable in “getting what we want in life.” … OR … is it? Is it getting what we think we want but not getting what we really want? G-Q5-2: Are attractive people lazy in developing deep relationships?

Answer: Often it seems they do struggle with having deep relationships … but of course / it goes without saying “not always with all people all the time.” G-Q5-3: Can what be said for attractive people the same for smart people?

Answer: it seems like when people think they are smart and/or attractive they can have struggles in a lot of areas of life. Often, it seems, if parents told their children they were smart, beautiful and special … gave their children a lot of praise, those children often group up to be very insecure. Why? If we get a lot of anything, it seems, especially as a child we can get addicted to that feeling.
