Living Like Eeyore It was a Tuesday in February when it first happened. Unexpectantly waking up in the morning‚ realizing that the bottle of pills taken the previous night did not do what the Internet said they would. When you are someone like me‚ actions and thoughts like this occur on a daily basis. Nobody wants to live this way‚ constantly dreading each day and hoping the next will bring a stable supply of neurotransmitters like serotonin or dopamine. These chemicals in the brain‚ when in excess

When Walden was published during the nineteenth century‚ the reactions of people were exceedingly different than they are of modern society. These reactions were towards every aspect of Thoreau and altered with every change in time. The foremost reactions toward Henry David Thoreau occurred when he went to live on his own at Walden Pond. As strange as it may seem‚ some critics think that Thoreau’s choice to live at Walden Pond was simply because he was a hermit. However‚ his sheltered life was

Living in a communist dungeon was like living in the Plato’s Cave In Plato’s book‚ the Republic‚ in a story that the ancient Greek philosopher shows to his student Glaucon‚ by using an allegory of peoples that are condemned to live in a cave for all their lives‚ the philosopher shows how people can be deceived by many images that they see from the distance and when they have not enough information to judge them.

The Self at Walden Pond Whether the contemporary UU focuses on reforming the self or society seems to me a concern about how an individual’s way of living impacts others.. The idea of individualized transcendence seems to be analogous with the perceptive of Emerson’s contemporaries who believed that the reform of the self was a form of a conferred spiritual democracy. Conferred because in theory‚ perhaps they could label it a spiritual democracy. Yet‚ looking at the historical events of the

chapter 2 in Thoreau’s Walden allows one to understand Thoreau’s view on time compared to life as well as the importance he places on intellect. He begins by saying “time is but the stream I go a-fishing in.” (10). Time is how he views his life meanwhile his fishing in it is relevant to the current time. The stream is representative of how life continues to go on. However‚ he then says “…I see the sandy bottom and detect how shallow it is.” (10).

As a Walden student‚ I am a much improved individual. I have learned so much about humanities and technology since I began going to school at Walden. I now realized that to understand people you have to really listen to what they are saying. Sometimes people will say one thing and deep down on the inside they are trying to convey a deeper meaning to what they are feeling.
