Inactivity and Health Echo Ancient Warnings
A satirical essay contrasts idleness with wasted energy in modern life. It warns that long inactivity rots the body like a stopped steam engine, dulling nerves and muscles, while lax morals corrode character, urging exercise, fresh air, and moral steadiness as cure. It also praises integrity and the rare heroism of doing right regardless of gains.
