The very first lesson that should be taught to us when are old enough to understand it, is that complete freedom from the obligation to work is unnatural, and ought to be illegal, as we can escape our share of the burden of work only by throwing it on someone else’s shoulders. Nature ordains that the human race shall perish of famine if it stops working. We cannot escape from this tyranny. The question we have to settle is how much leisure we can afford to allow ourselves.

(a) it is essential for human beings to work 

(b) there should be a balance between work and leisure

(c) working is a tyranny which we to face 

(d) human's understanding of the nature of work is essential
