Parshas Vayeira- Laziness in the Bones

the MIM appeared to Lo and told him that they were going to destroy the city of sedom apparently L took them quite seriously he began looking at to what he could save as to what he could take with him and interestingly enough the PK says v m he delayed and he delayed but despite the fact that he delayed he was saved the MIM grabbed him and literally pulled him out the swo explained that by delaying L literally lost his lease on life he had been saved in the Merit of a in that Merit hasem sent MIM now that he delayed now that he didn't listen to the Mal but he sort of stayed around he lost that Merit by All rights he should have been killed he should have been left to die however hasem had Rus Hashem had mercy why because explains it wasn't B merid the reason why lot delayed wasn't out of rebellion it wasn't because he was not accepting what the m said rather he was a tumult he was so overwhelmed by the possibility of the fact that stone was going to be destroyed and Ne and because of laziness these two factors played within him the fact that oh my goodness the entire city is going to be destroyed and he was lazy those two factors played in his heart because of those two reasons he delayed and because of that hasem had and the literally grabbed him by the hand and pulled him out this fno is quite difficult to understand because it sounds like a they obey an internal s contradiction why because if L believed what the MIM said which is quite clear from the fact that he was s tumult he was so overwhelmed with the possibility that the entire city would be destroyed how's it possible that he delayed because of laziness if he understood the gravity of the situation if he understood that the entire city was going to be destroyed man woman and child and that's why he was so overcome with emotion how could laziness factor in as a reason why he would delay surely he would run for his life surely he would jump out a window anything to save himself how could laziness be a factor together as a reason why he delayed and I believe the answer to this Rashi is that the Mida the character trait of laziness gets into your bones and becomes a part of the essence of you if you have laziness within you motivation won't help all of the drive in the world won't help there's a heaviness there's inertia all right let me take a break but but but sir the the the building's on fire you're going to be burnt to light okay I'll get there but just slow down as strange as it sounds that's an operating Force within the human he may not quite recognize it he may not quite realize it but there's a heaviness there's an inertia that holds him down even if a person understands why he's created even if a person is totally motivated to grow to accomplish he has to directly work on his character traits he has to directly work on ESS on laziness because if not it will factor into everything there'll be a heaviness there'll be a laziness that will pull him down despite the fact that he values mites despite the fact that he recognizes the value of the world to come if he doesn't uproot this Mida of laziness he won't accomplish anything compared to what he could have because a weigh him down a person must directly attack it and uproot this Mida from his essence
