The Malady of the Century

CHAPTER V
37/45

You complain that your labor is hard and unhealthy?
You live longer, in better health, and freer from anxiety than the huntsman, fisherman, or warrior of the barbarous ages.

What you most suffer from is your hatred, not your need, your ambitions, your envy.

Men can live healthily and happily on water, but you will have beer and brandy.

You earn enough to buy meat and vegetables, but you will have tobacco for yourselves and finery for your wives, and that cannot go on.

Your daily bread might taste well enough, but it becomes bitter in your mouths when you think of the millionaire's roast meat.
