Why you need Walden
Walden, written by Henry David Thoreau, mainly talks about the writer’s life and thoughts; during he lived alone in the woods near Walden Pond.
This book belongs to your soul, before you read it, you have to be alone, when you finish it, you may enjoy your loneliness.
Reading this book, you will enjoy the journey of the beautiful natural environment around the Walden Pond, you will walk into the woods, you will touch the cool water of the lake with your finger, you will see the autumn leaves floating in measure down to the ground.
It’s that simple, it’s the authentic records about a man backing to nature, backing to himself and innocence, backing to basics, and becoming a part of the great universe.
Life in Walden isn’t a running away from reality, it is some kind of precipitate about living alone in the natural environment, and it’s a peaceful and quite living status.
Reading this book, you will think about the humanity, civilization, society, life, money, death, and yourself.
The great thinking of Thoreau isn’t about any kinds of guiding for personal growth or chicken soup for the soul. It’s that simple, just some description about everyday life, and the sound of nature, personal feelings and so on. But when you read it, your soul will feel peace even you stand right in a market full of noise. This book has its magic to make you feel quite and calmness，but the important thing I think, is that we need to find our own Walden in our heart by reading and thinking the simple and deep thoughts in this book.
We need strength to be brave to live. We ask these questions everyday——How should we face with our incredible or miserable life? How should we deal with the moment that we want to run away from reality? How should we find some nooks in out heart to put our sorrow？
That is the answer.
“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I didn’t wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms.”
We deal with every kinds of things everyday, we feel tired, because we get used to make complicated solutions; we feel bored, because we get used to being in a complicated rut.
“I do believe in simplicity. It is astonishing as well as sad, how many trivial affairs even the wisest thinks he must attend to in a day; how singular an affair he thinks he must omit. When the mathematician would solve a difficult problem, he first frees the equation of all encumbrances, and reduces it to its simplest terms. So simplify the problem of life, distinguish the necessary and the real. Probe the earth to see where your main roots run.“
Sometimes we need simple, because simple is the direct way to get the key.
The Walden records the writer’s own micro-universe as a whole in the course of experience. This book doesn’t just left us a record of a man lived in the forest, this book provides a way to make us thinking about human and dilemma, nature and social world, the most important, how to keep ourselves in this noisy and complicated world.
We all mean to be alone, but it’s not depression, it’s the inner peace in ourselves.
There is one Walden in the world, and it’s belongs to Thoreau only, but we all looking for our own Walden.
“To be awake is to be alive.”
