just came across this:
"In Catholic tradition it is Sloth (acedia = not caring, neglect, slight),
one of the seven deadly sins, one that especially afflicted monks and was believed to be a temptation of the devil,
and was associated with melancholia, depression, despair, doubt and skepticism about faith, and a state of being burnt-out,
that had to be resisted with courage and hope."
people thinking it's their solution will only lead them to despair, eventually.
