Sloth is essentially apathy. This can be a mental or emotional quality as well as physical. In this sense, sloth isn’t just laziness of body, but laziness of thought or feeling as well. Medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas is on to something when he writes, “Sloth is a kind of sadness, whereby a man becomes sluggish..." As fun as it can be to be lazy, sloth begins from a downcast disposition or attitude, a sort of “sadness” we can call apathy or ambivalence. The word sloth comes from the Greek word for “carelessness,” and that's exactly what sloth is—not caring. (source: www.theresurgance.com)
