Since my autistic burnout and experiencing severe hardships myself, I've always stressed that people are not lazy except when they know they have to do something, are perfectly able to do it (without any fear or obstacle), and still choose not to do it. Which is a rare occurrance indeed, especially if people are inspired by the right motivation to do something.
In my schooling system, I've been taught that if people are left to their own means and allowed autonomous freedom, they usually get both social and productive. As a result, I've always believed that laziness is a social construct and stigma used to force people to do things beyond their current capacities to do -- to exploit them and their bodies.
Now, a social psychologist and university professor, Devon Price, confirms my suspicions:
Laziness Does Not Exist
