Andrei came home last week asking me to help him in his assignment. It's in their Christian Living subject. They need to write something about some words which are associated with the 10 Commandments and sins.
What caught me was the word "sloth". I know its an animal but I never had this association. So I searched the internet and there, it is a nocturnal mammal of Central and South America. It sleeps up to 18 hours and they are really slow moving. This is why they are named sloth, as in lazy, indolent, but actually they are not. Reason for this behavior is that their main food source are leaves which are not nutritious, gives little energy and hard to digest. To adapt, they move very little.
I don't know, but I felt sad with the association. Same with the naming of Tazmanian Devil of Australia.
