Jack London. In the wilds of the North (№ 279822)

Why would I want to live, if in himself and in what I do, I not be glad? I spend my days hunting and fishing because this is joy for me, and spending days hunting and fishing, I become agile and strong. Man sitting by the fire in the tent, losing dexterity and strength. He does not feel happy, eating the food produced is not for them, and life is not pleasing to him. He does not live.
