Walking by Henry David Thoreau
2.0
Thoreau is in love with nature. He likes climbing trees, he likes walking through swamps, he likes going West (oh boy how he loves going West!), he likes to get up early and walk for 4 hours somewhere without a clue where he is going, he likes dark colored skin, he likes pigeons, he likes everything that is wild and free! Be like Thoreau and go West and climb a tree or something!
For real, this was broing, repetitive and even quite often contradictory. I get it, civilization is bad and so on, but why can't we talk about different realities without proclaiming one as the ideal one and the other as people just being forced to live a certain way. I know the idea of divergent ways of life can be difficult to grasp, but I believe it would have helped the point he is making, or at least it could have made it more suitable for our present times.
