Consumption without limitation is gluttony.
Production without consumption is drudgery.
Neither extreme could be intended.
It seems rightful to produce all
that we can endure without drudgery.
And to consume all
we can enjoy without gluttony.
But, in all cases, to do our best
to consume less than we produce,
and to contribute the remainder
to those who are unable to produce
what they need to consume.
