    You know, when i originally read this, the way i interpreted it was that he was saying that if you need to earn money to live you don’t deserve to live.

    I much prefer the version that is an indictment of the phrase “earn a living” as implying you don’t deserve to live if you aren’t “working” in the modern sense of earning money at a modern job vs doing what’s necessary to stay alive like all nature’s critters.
