1. “Our life is frittered away by detail. An honest man has hardly need to count more than his ten fingers, or in extreme cases he may add his ten toes, and lump the rest. Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity! I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep you accounts on your thumb-nail.”

People take life for granted and don’t realize its value until they lose it.

1. “ For every walk is a sort of crusade, preached by some Peter the Hermit in us, to go forth and reconquer this Holy Land from the hand of the Infidels. It is true, we are but faint-hearted crusaders, even the walkers, nowadays, who undertake no persevering, never-ending enterprise. Our expeditions are but tours, and come round again at the evening to the old hearthside from which we set out.”

1. “Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing, The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child, The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other; who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood. His intercourse with heaven and earth, becomes part of his daily food.”

1. “All men are in some degree impressed by the face of the world; some men even to delight. This love of beauty is Taste. Others have the same love in such excess, that, not content with admiring, they seek to embody it in new forms, The creation of beauty is Art.”

1. “It is the harder, because you will always find those who think they know what is your duty better than you know it. It is easy in the world to live after the world’s opinion; it is easy in solitude to live after your own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.”

By Walt Whitman

Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,

Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,

Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)

Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,

Of the poor results of all, all the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,

Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,

The question, O me! So sad, recurring--What good amid these, O me, O life?

Answer

That you are here--that life exists and identity

That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

In “Oh Me! O Life!” Walt Whitman questions himself and the meaning of his own existence, as well as the productivity and meaning of life in general. He mentions the bustling cities filled with “foolish” people and the “endless trains of the faithless” in order to convey the continuous habitual lifestyle as well as to understate the meaning of being alive. However, Whitman also claims that he himself is as foolish as the others. Whitman questions the purpose of being alive and why everyone has spent so many “useless years.” He demonstrates how people continue to “crave the light,” meaning that people want more than they ever have. In addition he implies that everyone, just like him, are searching for meaning in their lives, which is true. In the end, Whitman answers his questioning of the meaning of life by claiming that life is good enough by the fact that it exists and that people can contribute to this ongoing paradox.

Dead Poets society was a very moving and beautiful movie. Robin Williams playing Mr. Keating demonstrated that life does not have to be set by the stereotypical regulations and that people should be creative and set their own mark in the world. It was very beautiful when the students set up their own Dead Poets Society in the cave. However, it was very depressing when Neil, who believed he finally found the purpose of his life ended gave up because of his parents forcing him to give up his dreams. Transcendentalism teaches us to seek the truth and to reject traditional establishment in order to develop who you are and live life to the finest and this movie demonstrated how stereotypical society can be an antagonist against your dreams and who you want to be.

I, Moreen Matti, declare that I will contribute our world by following my passion and desires. I will also contribute to the world by being alive. My life impacts many others, and many other lives impact me. Everyday, the people we meet, and have met, has impacted everyone in their own way. Students, teachers, friends, family, strangers, everyone that we have had contact with or known has impacted our lives as we do likewise. I want to set a good example by being a positive person and by following my passion. I will also contribute by setting my creative mind free and through expressing myself to the world.

All the traffic lights furiously blinking

All the cars noisily steaming and agnerly beeping

All the bright lamps at night glaring into my soul

All the headaches from staring at the screen

All the weary thoughts from deprivation and fatigue

All the sleepless nights that could be spent sleeping

All the tears and the hope decompensating

All the fights and the screams

All the pain, the hardships, the worries

All for what

I just want to sleep

No more noise, please

I want a break from this exhausting reality

My life is currently a mess and so are my dreams

But what is a life without no noise, without no dreams, without no fighting for anything

Life is not easy, we saw that from the start

It will never be easy, but that’s why it reaches our heart

We were sent on a mission, to live our lives

To dream on and to conquer our vibes

That is what makes us human:

We gladly suffer to strive
