1A. Walden - "Where I Lived and What I Lived For"

"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," - Henry David Thoreau

To live in isolation is to live in constraint, protecting yourself from artificial life, and living a more natural life.

"I, who cannot stay in my chamber for a single day without acquiring some rust, and when sometimes I have stolen forth for a walk at the eleventh hour, or four o'clock in the afternoon, too late to redeem the day, when the shades of night were already beginning to be mingled with the daylight, have felt as if I had committed some sin to be atoned for," - Henry David Thoreau

This quote exemplifies how remaining inside without walking through natures on a daily basis can make one feel as though they are making a wrong choice in their life, and that they are letting the day go to waste, which can lead to a feeling of deep regret.

"In the wilderness, I find something more dear and connate than in streets or villages. In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature," - Ralph Waldo Emerson

The beauty of the wilderness reflects the beauty of humankind, one that naturally exists, whereas streets and villages are cages restricting humans from witnessing life's true wonders.

"Others have the same love in excess, that, not in content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms. The creation of beauty is Art," - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Art lives in beauty as beauty lives in art, each going hand in hand, the difference being that art exists to reflect beauty, and beauty exists to make art.

"The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has tried," - Ralph Waldo Emerson

There's a light that shines within a person since the day they are born, that light will only grow stronger, strong enough for everyone to see, once they learn to take advantage of it.

A common mistake typically made upon viewing life is by looking at it with a closed mind, only choosing to see what is in front of you. Life's beauty is not around you, it is within you, what you decide to make out of it, or do to it, is the ultimate beauty. The world's existence, your existence, and existence itself is what adds to beauty. To enhance the beauty, you must contribute yourself to life by giving it everything you have, and using all the power you process within you for the better of all.

"And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for."

We work hard in life; studying in school, working jobs, keeping ourselves alive, all so we can reach the top of the book stack to view the beauty of life, the reason for our existence.

The endless hours spent studying, schooling, and testing, all to finally be able to contribute my verse to the world as a cardiologist. Then, I'd be able to not only keep the hearts of people alive, but fill them with hope and love. The greatness of life is living itself, and by being a cardiologist, I will be able to give people that greatness of life. Not only will I be saving the hearts of my patients, but the people associated with them, saving them from a shattered heart of losing a loved one.

A canvas' only goal is to become a painting. In order for it to become a painting, it needs paint. It also needs a paintbrush to use the paint. These are the necessities needed to create a painting. But once a paintbrush thinks it can create a painting without paint, and begins to make strokes on the canvas, the canvas will remain unchanged. And once paint thinks it does not need a paintbrush, it sits and rots, losing its whole purpose; to be used on a canvas. But the worst of all, a canvas that thinks it does not need a painting. That canvas loses its meaning, loses its purpose, and loses its value. A canvas will always need its paint. And paint will always need its paintbrush.

Life is a canvas. Its paint is the experiences of life. And the paintbrush is a person. People exist to paint their lives through experiences. Without experiences, a person cannot paint. And without a person to take advantage of an open possibility, that experience loses its purpose. And without both, life loses its value. People need to use the paint available to them. That way they can create their painting. Once the painting is created, a canvas can finally say it has achieved its purpose.
