Thoreau means when he says the line “as for work, we haven’t any of any consequence” is all work that we do is trivial and meaningless. He also means that there is not any work of importance, it is all trivial and meaningless. Henry David Thoreau is an essayist, historian, surveyor, naturalist, tax resister, philosopher, and poet.

People with power should help the weak because the weak will only struggle and their situation will only worsen without the help of others.
