Superfluity

 It is for superfluous things for which men sweat!

Seneca


What is law of Nature? 

Are'nt Hunger Thirst and Cold the necessities, and rest is superfluity?

Yes Says Seneca

Courting with powerful,

Submitting to their stern frown or their kindness,

dashing up the foreign shores,

or going for campaigning - all are superfluity-

that are barely hanging threadbare-

 

For that which is enough is already in our hands

Motto should be "Live according to Nature"
