Most of our contemporaries have no idea what akedia means. Few know that tradition has identified it with the "demon of midday" so feared by those going through the famous "midlife crisis." And yet, even if the term akedia has been forgotten, the phenomenon it refers to has not disappeared at all. It is enough to immerse ourselves in the flavorful texts of the first monks of the desert to become aware of it. The very expression "demon of the afternoon" should catch our attention. For usually, the demon is associated with the night, not the middle of the day! Is it not precisely this unexpected feature of a demon that descends upon us in broad daylight that makes akedia a thoroughly frightening evil? If the midday sun fills our hearts with its bright light, does not akedia, like an unnoticed evil, also fill the heart of the one upon whom it descends in the gloom of his weariness and the darkness of his despair?
