(One evolves by the work best suited to
one's own nature, or inborn tendencies. Walking up hill,
vocationally, is very stressful or destructive. By following a very
easy career path, one may not be able to support a family.

greed for more. Thus desire is a great devil, because, it can never
be fully satisfied. (3.37)
