Most of them labour the greater part of their time for mere subsistence; and the scanty portion of freedom which remains to them so troubles them that they use every exertion to get rid of it. Oh, the destiny of man!<\/p>\n<p>But they are a right good sort of people. If I occasionally forget myself, and take part in the innocent pleasures which are not yet forbidden to the peasantry, and enjoy myself, for instance, with genuine freedom and sincerity, round a well-covered table, or arrange an excursion or a dance opportunely, and so forth, all this produces a good effect upon my disposition.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"80\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/2016\/10\/20\/david-bowies-last-three-songs-decoding-the-final-transmission\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?fit=2048%2C1152\" data-orig-size=\"2048,1152\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?fit=1024%2C576\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-80\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576\" alt=\"photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?resize=1024%2C576 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?resize=300%2C169 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?resize=768%2C432 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?resize=1800%2C1013 1800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?resize=1200%2C675 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?resize=600%2C338 600w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pinepro.themejack.com\/music\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/5\/2016\/10\/photo-1448485780098-7e0b78781fc1.jpeg?w=2048 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alas, that the friend of my youth is gone!
