    STUDIA THEOLOGIA ORTHODOXA - Issue no. 1 / 2013  
         
  Article:   ACEDIA SEEN AS CARELESSNESS.

Authors:  . 		 
       
         
  Abstract:  This study begins with some clarifications on current acedia, one of the eight bad thoughts. Speaking about acedia is not an easy endeavour. In a metaphorical sense we could compare acedia with a storm which is recognized by the damaging effects it produces. One of these effects is the carelessness state. Once he arrives in this state, man acts as he would not have a soul and an eternal destiny. Carelessness is the main cause of man’s failure in the spiritual life. Seen through the lens of carelessness, acedia can take the image of what might be called "lacebunita" and "I don’t care syndrome".

Keywords: acedia, carelessness, lacebunita, I don’t care syndrome, indifference, laziness.
