When people get older do they begin to become lazy?
Not usually. Most people over 60 don't sleep in or nap a lot. I think it's probably because their bones get achy.I am an older guy. 78. I think, generally, we are less motivated, when we get older. The urgency to walk, cut the lawn or socialise becomes less important. And we tend to do chores 'in our own good time'. Probably less organised, too. There are exceptions, of course. When youger, we are more motivated by finding a job (income), finding a home, a mate. Then children normally give a busier life and urgency to everything. Lucky folks have a talent, music, sport etc. at which they excel, which in turn provides the wealth to have a better quality of life and freedom.Answer:It's not nessessrily that older people get lazier, their bodies are just slowing down as a result of the harsh effects of the aging process. Dont judge the elderly too harshly, because one day those that are young will not stay youn, they will get old as well if they keep living.This is a portion of an Awake arricle on jw.org: While seeking to remain reasonably healthy, however, we should be realistic and recognize that there is very little that we can do to slow down the aging process or avoid all sickness. Ecclesiastes chapter 12 paints a vivid picture of "the calamitous days" that accompany old age in the case of imperfect humans. (ReadEcclesiastes 12:1-7.) White hair is compared to the blossom of "the almond tree." Legs are likened to "men of vital energy" that now bend and totter. Ladies who go to a window in search of light and find only darkness are a fitting illustration of dimming eyesight. Since some teeth are missing, "the grinding women have quit working because they have become few."3 Shaky legs, failing eyesight, and toothless gums are certainly not what God originally purposed for mankind. Moreover, death inherited from Adam is one of "the works of the Devil" that God's Son will undo by means of his Messianic Kingdom. The apostle John wrote: "For this purpose the Son of God was made manifest, namely, to break up the works of the Devil."-1 John 3:8.
