Little known is that Thoreau was not self sufficient but relied on his neighbors kindness to supply his needs. I greatly admired Thoreau in my youth he inspired me to become more self sufficient and read everything I could get my hands on about him, Walden Pond, transcendentalism, and self-sufficiency until I came across that story of his kindly neighbors. Needless to say I was disappointed and disillusioned, but it was not a total loss as I've embraced an independent lifestyle which served me.

@Msoolala Too true, and besides- those would one might think of as the people most fit to lead almost never would have or do want to. Leadership is something egotistical(there is an undeniable sense of self power that goes into it) a characteristic great advanced thinkers as Thoreau do not possess.

He would never want to be 'in charge' he would say "you are incharge of yourself." Read his essay Civil Disobediece and take action!

The book is Ten Minutes of Forever. Sorry I forgot to mention that.

No but now that you've mentioned, I'll do some research on him. What book of his is that? And that's really intriguing that he could be a relation of Jack.
Funny that when think of Thoreau, I think of Jack London too, caused by watching Into the Wild.
Oh, and I love Johnny Depp too!

Amazing video. Thank you. Have anyone here heard of Andrew London? I believe he is the new Thoreau! There is a scene in his novel where his hero is sailing the sea. He has packed novels by Hem, Melville, etc. He gets depressed and throws them overboard and then wishes he would have packed Thoreau. Very vivid and moving scene. Anyone who loves Thoreau will love Andrew London. Very deep and philosophical. I wonder if he's related to Jack?

The natural landscape. Today he would have found condominiums and a golf course on the very spot where he describes a skirmish between settlers and Native-Americans. It's the same spot where the Nashua River extends from the Merrimack River.

Does your comment refer to humanity or nature?

Can you upload more of these?? You should definitely upload some more videos if you can because these are the kinds of videos that keep me sane during a 5 hour lecture in class.
