[00:01.080] --- lesson 27 Nothing to sell and nothing to buy
[00:07.360] --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
[00:13.040] --- What is the most important thing for a tramp?
[00:18.080] It has been said that everyone lives by selling something.
[00:22.720] In the light of this statement, teachers live by selling knowledge,
[00:27.720] philosophers by selling wisdom and priests by selling spiritual comfort.
[00:34.720] Though it may be possible to measure the value of material goods in terms of money,
[00:40.160] it is extremely difficult to estimate the true value of the services which people perform for us.
[00:47.480] There are times when we would willingly give everything we possess to save our lives,
[00:53.160] yet we might grudge paying a surgeon a high fee for offering us precisely this service.
[01:00.120] The conditions of society are such that skills have to be paid for in the same way that goods are paid for at a shop.
[01:08.640] Everyone has something to sell.
[01:12.320] Tramps seem to be the only exception to this general rule.
[01:17.520] Beggars almost sell themselves as human beings to arouse the pity of passers-by.
[01:23.840] But real tramps are not beggars.
[01:26.880] They have nothing to sell and require nothing from others.
[01:31.200] In seeking independence, they do not sacrifice their human dignity.
[01:37.000] A tramp may ask you for money, but he will never ask you to feel sorry for him.
[01:43.400] He has deliberately chosen to lead the life he leads and is fully aware of the consequences.
[01:51.080] He may never be sure where the next meal is coming from, but he is free from the thousands of anxieties which afflict other people.
[02:00.560] His few material possessions make it possible for him to move from place to place with ease.
[02:07.360] By having to sleep in the open, he gets far closer to the world of nature than most of us ever do.
[02:14.520] He may hunt, beg, or steal occasionally to keep himself alive;
[02:19.880] he may even, in times of real need, do a little work; but he will never sacrifice his freedom.
[02:27.520] We often speak of tramps with contempt and put them in the same class as beggars,
[02:33.800] but how many of us can honestly say that we have not felt a little envious of their simple way of life and their freedom from care?
