It is explained below:

Explanation:

In this poem, the poet Pablo Neruda is talking about the ''sadness''. This ''sadness'' is the lazy act of human nature. He is saying that if we won't involve ourselves in any activities then this sadness will lead to depression and we will be doom.

The activities like hunting or any mindless activity are the reason of self-destruction. They seem like a challenging victory but in actual it destroys mankind.

Answer 2

The 'sadness' that the poet talks about is ceaseless activity without understanding ourselves that would eventually lead to doom. This mindless activity leads men to self-destruction. They kill whales and injure themselves by chemicals or fire. He also pleads with mankind to end environmental degradation.
