Active people are usually deficient in the higher
activity, I mean individual activity. They are
active as officials, merchants, scholars, that is as a species, but not as quite distinct separate and single individuals ; in this respect they are idle.

The active roll as the stone rolls, according to the stupidity of mechanics. All mankind is divided, as it was at all times and is still, into slaves and freemen; for whoever has not two-thirds of his day for himself is a slave, be he otherwise whatever he likes, statesman, merchant, official, or scholar

I know that the quest to attain truth is noble in itself but i don't see any point in reading besides that
