I saw this on Slashdot yesterday:

Work And Maxim Gorky

There is this famous quote by Maxim Gorky (a Soviet Writer) that goes something like this:

"When work is a pleasure, life is a joy! When work is duty, life is slavery."

Which makes me wonder. What if you work purely for self-preservation (i.e. so you can have a roof over your head and three meals per day)? What does that make life then ?
