Second, natural disposition: someone has a less constant spirit because of the weakness of their constitution." (STh., II-II, q.138, a.1, sol.1) "First, pleasure, and this is how the immoderate gambler opposes 'eutrapelia.' Second, play is considered a relief, a repose that opposes effort. And just as being unable to endure effort is something that refers to laziness, the excessive desire for the relief of play or any other repose also refers to laziness."
