Are we living to live, or do we live to LIVE?

"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep."

I don't want to follow my footsteps, but create new ones.

"It is true, we are but faint-hearted crusaders, even the walkers, nowadays, who undertake no preserving, never-ending enterprises. Our expeditions are but tours, and come around again at evening to the old hearthside from which we set out."

"Then, there is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend."

Stunningly simple, we are.

"The beauty of nature reforms itself in the mind, and not for barren contemplation, but for new creation."

Sacrificing my desires for the greater good...but is it good?

"Society is a joint-stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater."

The poem "O Me! O Life!" by Walt Whitman makes the claim that despite people who live mindlessly without contributing positively to society, one should always strive to make a difference in the world, which influences me to continue striving my passion for the medical field. The poem intends to appeal to pathos by using personification in order to encourage people who are confused about the purpose of life to follow their passion to help themselves, and others. The medical field is a way for me to follow my passion that helps me become a physician, which is my dream career, not only making me joyful, but allows be to be able to treat people and improve their livelihood as a result.

While dealing with the challenge of completing LOTS of homework, feeling overwhelmed, I find it calming being outside, interacting with nature while taking a break from the work and momentarily being released from my shackles.

Even if you lack the lavish and unnecessary things that society today demands for each person to have, take it easy!

See that tree?

That tree that is a witness of my thoughts

That tree that understands my emotions

That tree, under whom I take refuge in a compromising climate

That tree, whose air I breathe, helping me thrive

That tree, whose sight gives me a source of calmness

That tree, who has never subjected me to malicious critique, under the guise of “expectations”

That tree, whose leaves have wiped my tears of despair

That tree, who has stood beside me through it all, as it should

That tree, is it all I need?

Yes, why dwell on lavishness?

Why dwell on who said who?

Why dwell on who did what?

Why dwell on who has what?

Why dwell on what I lack?

Why dwell on what I desire?

Because all I need

And all I truly desire

In this world, in this life

Is myself and that tree

I will help maintain life as a physician. My life will be dedicated to aiding others medically, being their rock during times of stress and fear. Fear of the unknown and fear of the pain that has been consuming them for years on end. I will assist them in being able to perceive, witness and enjoy the wonders and beauty that the world has to offer!

Stay true to yourself in a world against it.

" Nature, individualism and self-reliance, and societal impact resonates in today's world by pointing out the negatives in today's society that many think to be oppressive using rhetorical devices that imply that running society in a better way using transcendentalist ideas can be done in order to convince people who are dissatisfied with these norms to embrace nature, and individualism and become self reliant."

"This aspect of chance relates to individualism and self reliance in that it implies that when people vote, they practically have a chance to vote for either someone who will maintain their freedoms and ability to think for themselves, or someone who will rob them of their opportunity to formulate their own opinions to prevent opposition, showing the lack of care and hatred for people having their own beliefs and being unique that the government has."
