In his essay, Thoreau questioned whether working was the most important part of life and argued that work is often at odds with poetry and life.

Life Without Principle' is an essay by Henry David Thoreau that offers his program for a righteous livelihood. Then there is Panther (Lau Ching Wan), a not too ambitious or smart but fiercely loyal low level gangster who hits the streets to find bail money for his sworn brother in crime. Teresa Chan (Denise Ho) is a bank investment advisor, the poorest performer of her branch, she's forced to stay late and cold call clients and cut corners to make her quota. Police Inspector Cheung (Richie Ren) quietly struggles in his job, dealing with the everyday atrocities of the city, and pestered in his home life, with a wife insistent on buying an apartment beyond their means.
