"When it’s all about survival, you cannot afford to make mistakes, you learn very little by way of mistakes, become super careful about everything and you care very little for beauty, emotions or feelings. You lose your power to appreciate, little by little, as the climate hardens you in body and spirit. Life in short becomes one big dead affair. If life should mean anything, it is only due to alcohol or sex, which is why it is very hard for such people to retain their sense of manners, civility and rationality. What I have to say is this: We should not allow nature to mould human beings into animal like creatures made to work alone, deriving hardly any pleasure from either work or play."
