Summary

This quote by Mark Twain defines the clear distinction between work and play. It states that work involves activities that individuals are required or obligated to do, such as tasks related to employment or responsibilities. Conversely, play refers to activities that individuals engage in out of choice or pleasure, without any sense of obligation. Twain's words highlight the contrasting nature of these two realms and emphasize the idea that play is associated with freedom and enjoyment, while work is seen as obligatory and necessary.
