is procrastinating immoral ?

RE: is procrastinating immoral ?
Humans appear to be aware of the idea that a host of benefits can be reaped if you alter your behaviour to an improvement. Benjamin Franklin would have been often found looking at ways to refine his speech, manner, disputation and ideas. He got rather stuck on one of his 'moral perfection' goals, 'order' to be precise. He found it 'extremely difficult to aquire. 'I had not been early accustomed to it', yet he concluded with the following, 'for something, that pretended to be reason, was every now and then suggesting to me that such extreme nicety as I exacted of myself might be a kind of foppery in morals, which had it be known, would make me ridiculous' and 'that a benevolent man should allow a few faults in himself'.

There's nothing sinister in comtemplation for its own sake, but I would not go to the extreme case of meditating in a cave, unless for Plato's cave that is. But not for long, iv'e got better things to think about.
