When a man or woman decides they have accumulated enough of this world's goods and have done enough for their community or the world to completely retire from service, they have chosen a slow but sure method of committing suicide.

Very, very few people die from overwork. 5 Don’t throw away stale bread and left-over skim milk, madam housewife, Krom them you can make that simple and well-known but nourishing dish, milk toast, the United States Department of Agriculture points out.
