The discussions this past week have served to remind me to appreciate what I have. When I evaluated my life without those who mean the most to me, my life dwindled down to nothing but a hollow, empty mess. When I looked at life from this perspective, I had a clearer understanding of why Thoreau believed we should give up our “stuff” to find true happiness in life. When I first started reading, I thought Thoreau was old-fashion and I couldn’t make sense of his ideas. It was only after I analyzed his theory from an entirely opposite point of view that I came to an ironic agreement.
