I’ve always sought to live like an animal in that if there is nothing to be done, don’t go around making work for yourself. Relax, take it easy. You don’t see lions with a full belly planning the next hunt. I hear it so often, people wear it like a badge of honour “Oh I’m just so busy!” Why? Get less busy. Do less. People don’t seem to think they have value unless they’re doing something. Do nothing, it’s good. Being lazy is a good thing. You would have thought with all our labour saving devices that we would start enjoying life more but we seem to work and toil more than ever. Stop working. Do only what is required and enjoy yourself. No one ever regrets not having spent enough time at work on their death bed.
Interesting thought experiment, however, we'd all still be living in caves, and wearing skins, infested with lice...Doesn't sound like paradise to me. Perhaps a bit more balance though would be beneficial..?
But Alexander was right when he said, "Were I not Alexander ..." But he was Alexander, and as another, earlier Greek poet said, "Become all that you are."
Fascinating! Archeologists in Pompeii have discovered a remarkable inscription written in charcoal which has survived the catastrophe confirming that the eruption of Mt Vesuvius indeed took place in October 79AD (not August)as confirmed by the coin discovered ( still ignored by historians)

All those willing to die for The Great probably did.
