To those who think it is enough to know what is right and simply avoid doing anything wrong,Emerson has something to say.In one of his essays occurs the following profound sentence: "God offers to every mind it's choice between truth and repose. Take which you please-you can never have both."
Most of us would like to disbelieve the truth. There is no denying that comfort is more better than work. But we have to admit that knowing what is right implies the obligation to spread the knowledge.
And, as a matter of fact, many people who have fought "the good fight" with unceasing zeal testify to the abiding satisfaction, the deep contentment that is the reward of struggle.
"It is better to wear out than to rust out" Richard Cumberland.
