Walden By Henry David Thoreau

“to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived”

This excerpt from “Walden” by Henry David Thoreau speaks of a life unlived when it's nearing too late. Thoreau writes about living every day as if it were your last, taking in every chance to enrich and define yourself. How pursuing even the most simple of passions could prove to be worthwhile. I agree in the possibility that it is never too late to do what you’ve dreamt of and bring new perspective when looking into the horizon.

When you genuinely love doing something it becomes your passion, but if fear or fear of regret impact your decisions it can be easily regretted. The purpose

Get out, and do what you’ve always wanted. You can always dream and hope, but you can also be and do. The only thing inhibiting you is yourself. “I know of no more encouraging fact that the unquestionable ability of a man to elevate his like by a conscious endeavor.” So easily can we improve our lives by doing a simple task that makes us happy. Pursue your passion, achieve your dreams, make every moment of your life worth it. “Every man is tasked to make his like even in its details, worthy of contemplation.” Make your life one to hear about. Stories lasting ages and ages for generations to come. Change the way you view the world. Do something that you’ve always dreamt of, for regret is a lot worse than never trying. Stop living with the “infinite expectation of dawn” live as if every day may be your last. Stop expecting, start knowing. Don’t lie waiting for the sun to rise. Get up out of bed and dance underneath the stars. Pursue every dream and passion you’ve had, live as if tomorrow may never arrive, as that's what life is for.

Walden is about the impossibility of an unlived life, if you so chose to get out and live. Stop letting simple days under a mundane sky be what defines you. Open up to new and extravagant detail, a kaleidoscope of ability. When time ticks away, let go of should’ve, would’ve, could've. Instead did, done, and will do can be written across your bucket list. Pursuing your passions is easy as long as you have the means to do so and a full heart. Walden speaks to living a divine enriched life without any regret or never done. It’s impossible to live a life

    Though they lived centuries apart from one another, Christopher McCandless and Henry David Thoreau both uncovered the importance of living simplistically by retreating to the woods. When Thoreau first arrived at the house that he was to be staying at by Walden Pond, the first thing he noted was that the house was quite dilapidated. The walls were stained by the weather and had quite a few holes in them, causing the nights to be cold. The house also had no plastering nor a chimney, and the entire structure was only defensive against the rain. Despite these relatively unfavorable living conditions, however, Thoreau saw the experience as one to prove that people too lavish of lives to be genuinely happy.…

    Both Emerson and Thoreau incorporate their beliefs on the topic in their compositions. As I see it, one should live their life according to their idea of fulfilling, rather than how many do live in modern America; in consonance to status, to fit in, and being complacent. A lot of people say that one should live their life by doing what makes them happy. Everyone’s idea of happy is different. In a world where people lived how they “should”, happy would include being completely overjoyed with your life, yourself, and not needing others or material things to define you.…

    I agree with Mark Twain’s advice. Mark Twain’s advice is “Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bow lines. Sail away from the harbor.” This quote can be abridged to “have no regrets.”…

    Dante Alighieri once said, “There is no greater sorrow than to recall a happy time when miserable.” Though not directly mentioned, the idea of the quote seems to be explored thoroughly in both “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For,” by Henry David Thoreau, and “Once More to the Lake,” by E.B. White. While both of these authors float around several thoughts including reality, advancements, and living in general, they take very different approaches to do so. In “Once More to the Lake,” White reminisces on his journey back to a place he spent many summers as a child. His essay takes the form of a narrative, with him explaining in great detail the beauty and isolation of the lake.…

    He knows his life is finite, or shallow, but that nature exists forever without humans. Nature is more than us in every way, but we can be a part of it. Thoreau left the woods after his second year there because he had several more lives to live, and he couldn’t “spare any more time for that one”. He states that the experiment taught him that by charging forward confidently in the direction of your dreams, you will become successful. This almost contradicts with a following direction that reads “however mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard times”.…

    In the excerpt from the second chapter of Walden titled “Where I Lived and What I Lived For,” Thoreau crafts an intricate argument which advocates for self-realization within every individual. A specific line stood out to me which stated, "The beauty of nature reforms itself in the mind, and not for barren contemplation, but for new creation." Through this quote, the gears in my head started rolling again as they had laid in slumber for a rather long a period time. In my short time here on earth, I have always been enamored by the vastness of the world that surrounds us and the beauty held within it. Recently, I have sought to gain a greater appreciation for the little things of life and see the beauty of everything that surrounds me.…

    In Henry Wadsworth Longfellow’s poem, “A Psalm of Life”, he expresses two key values: to be zealous about living and to appreciate life in its entirety. From the start of the poem, Longfellow contends that “life is but an empty dream!” and that it is not a fantasy, far-fetched, and difficult to create into a good reality. He believes “the soul is dead that slumbers”, because those souls have lost the motivation for life as they think “the grave is its [ultimate] goal”. I agree with Longfellow with this value, because if a person doesn’t have a passion to live, then he/she won’t have the will to accomplish anything. The passion serves as the hero of a person’s life, and without that passion we will be “like, dumb, driven cattle” who don’t have…

    I see myself in Walden because I have realized, upon reflection, that my conclusions from facing the meanness of life mirror Thoreau’s conclusions in Walden. In “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For”, Thoreau explains his motives for the unorthodox move to Walden Pond. Thoreau went into the woods to “drive life into a corner”, “live deliberately” and “publish the whole and genuine meanness of it [life]” (74). With these goals in mind, Thoreau entered an environment with obstacles requiring him to get the meanness of life. For example, by removing himself from society, Thoreau experienced how humans must managed economy of “Food, Shelter, Clothing, and Fuel” to live (10).…
