00:00One great way to kill you is by confining you in a room full of luxuries and saying

00:06you'll be given the best food to eat and no work to do and all the time to sleep and entertain

00:12yourself.

00:13Within four or six months you will drop dead.

00:15That tells you something about life.

00:18Life in some sense is like a machine.

00:21It exists for the sake of an output.

00:24What kind of output?

00:25That's for your discretion to decide.

00:27Life is not something you can just sit and eat from.

00:32Life is like this body.

00:34It needs to work.

00:35If it doesn't work, what happens to it?

00:37We are supposed to work, toil, exert yourself.

00:42We are supposed to exert ourselves so much that we finish ourselves off in the endeavour.
