It is not, however, through envy that the 'prosperity of fools destroys us, so much as the knowledge of its unnecessariness and waste. I remember a curious instance to the contrary of this.

Time for inside work out-of-doors; preferably out-of-doors, "though you perhaps may have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poor house." Wherever the place time there must be. Time to show the unnecessariness of necessities which clog up time. Time to contemplate the value of man to the universe, of the universe to man, man's excuse for being.
