Sloth

The "acedia" : the failure to utilize one's talents and gifts.
Laziness and indifference - since this contrasts with a more willful failure, sloth is often seen as being considerably less serious than the other sins, more a sin of omission than of commission.

Acedia

Acedia is the neglect to take care of something that one should do. It is translated to apathetic listlessness; depression without joy. It is similar to melancholy. Apathy was considered a refusal to help others in time of need.
