In "Life without Principle," Thoreau writes, "If my wants should be much increased, the labor required to supply them would become a drudgery." What does this statement mean?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The more we want, hope, or wish for, the harder we have to work, or labor to see our desires fulfilled. Maybe to the point that our work makes us tired, we start to dread all the work we are doing to maintain such a lavish lifestyle. So you have to decide am I going to keep working myself very hard for extra gain, or decrease the level of my interest in things and just go without.
