"which is the most universal human characteristic fear or lazyness?"
If i was asked this question i would undoubtably without hesitation answer : fear. Fear is in every single human being, to me fear is what motivates us. The fear of pain be it emotional or physical keeps us doing what we do. For example a man has a job this job does not offer him pleasure but it does offer him money and the man needs to use this money to keep a house over his head to keep himself fed. The man fears having to not have money and to suffer by not having a home so he goes to work everyday and he may not be happy but the man continues everyday by reminding himself that it beats scraping unfortunate critters who met a certain mechanical doom off of the street to keep himself fed. This can be applied in so many ways not just occupations. School even we are motivated... or at least most are to pass and get out so we can get onto our lives and get a good job and live a comfortable life. Lazyness is in many people but i wouldn't say it is universal. Also how can you define lazyness? is it justy sitting back and relaxing when you could be doing something? I think lazyness is the abscence of fear. When a person is lazy they arn't worrying about anything and usually that can be associated with ignorance or just an attempt to reward themselves with a break. Lazyness could also mean that you have a dream but do not find it in you to chase it. however I see many people in the world who are not like that at all the prime example in my eyes is Tony Robbins. That man had a difficult life as a kid and he had his dream and he kept chasing untill he achieved it and even then the man didn't stop he goes out and talks to huge groups of people about improving their life and offering tips. The people who are lazy are born in an environment with no real need to fight or try for things it has just been given to them and they are conditioned that way and like it or not it usually sticks with them their whole life.
"Sanity is a madness put to good uses; waking life is a dream controlled."
I do agree with sanity being a sort of madness. It is a mad thing to ignore what you feel inside to basically conform to a certain personality that is acceptable to all. Waking life is a dream controlled means that in a dream you can make anything happen and you are the controller. yet when you wake up and experience life it is controlled and you are limited in what you can do and make.
