Where I Lived, and What I Lived for

In the Where I Lived, and What I Lived for chapter of Walden, Thoreau emphasized that people need to make life simple and slow because it eventually helps you know your factual goal and realize the true meaning of life. He begins with his own story he imagines that he works at farms as a farmer and he cares for seeds in succession. He thinks his farms will bring happiness because all sessions for cultivation are naturally accomplished. However, his imagination ends up with his real financial situation.He wants to buy farms not minding his profit margin but enjoying his time with seeds. However, the owner turns down his proposal because his reason was hardly accepted in modern times where people break off importance to wealth. After this experience living in a house in the woods, he feels a natural spirit and he glorifies the beauty of nature. He developed his feeling for nature after he realizes that people should be awakened They must learn to reawaken and keep them selves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn.He also came to know why people are so busy and why they work as hard as ants It is because people seem to set count on economical value but people do not know what they rattling want. According to his examples, there is a railroad which can effectively reduce time between places. At the same time, we could drowse off our landscape to see. So, he describes a railroad that We do not ride on the railroad it rides upon us. Therefore, he criticizes that fast seems to be effective but it brings wrong judgment and lose our opportunity.He mentions that our society is pressured to hurry for our life to be successful. However, he thinks that our society now is complicated and dangerous because we do not have ideas of slow and simple to reflect ourselves. All in all, he states that we need time to be slow and simple for our clever intelligent life. This is his obvious viewpoints Let us spend unitary day as deliberately a s Nature, and not be thrown off the track.
