Summary

This quote asserts that engaging in work serves as a remedy for three significant problems: boredom, vice, and want. In terms of boredom, work provides a sense of purpose, interest, and stimulation, effectively alleviating the monotony and dissatisfaction that can arise from a lack of engagement. Work also acts as a deterrent against vice, as it keeps individuals occupied and focused on productive activities, preventing them from indulging in harmful or immoral behaviors. Lastly, work offers a means to address want or lack, as it provides opportunities for earning a livelihood and fulfilling essential needs.
