Happiness in Work.
“Only regular, happy, productive work can give life its full savor,” said Jules Payot in the “Education of the Will." “ ? That upwelling sense of energy which we c&l the joy of living can only arise and be made part of dally life by work. He who does nothing at all has plenty of time to chew the cud of petty annoyances. The mind ‘gnaws itself,’ to use a popular French expression.” ‘'When a soldier or laborer complains of the work he has to do let him be put to doing nothing,” says Pascal, and Darwin testifies to the wretchedness of idleness with the remark. “During my stay at Maer my health has been poor have been scandalously lazy. The impression that this has made upon me is that nothing is so unbearable as laziness.”
