Biblical tradition says that the absence of work, idleness was the condition of the man's first blessedness before his fall. The love of idleness remained the same and fallen man, but the curse still weighs on man, and not only because we must win our bread and the sweat of our face, but because our moral qualities are such that we are unable to be idle, and at peace. A secret voice tells us that we should feel guilty for being idle. If a man could find a condition in which while idle he felt that he was being useful and was fulfilling his duty, he would have found one side of prime, or it'll blessedness in this state of obligatory and irreproachable idleness is enjoyed by an entire class. The military, in this obligatory and irreproachable idleness consists and will consist the chief attraction of military service.
