1A: "Where I lived and What I Lived For" - Walden 

# data[].attributes.body
"In the midst of this chopping sea of civilized life, such are the clouds and storms and quicksands and thousand-and-one items to be allowed for, that a man has to live, if he would not founder and go to the bottom and not make his port at all, by dead reckoning, and he must be a great calculator indeed who succeeds. Simplify, simplify. "

Society insists on defining greatness in progression and that it should be an uncertain and complex endeavor yet the results... are internal turmoil and people who are lost and oblivious to their geniuses, so Walden argues for the virtues of simplicity and the greatness of the peace that is within man.

"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 hands of the Infidels"

Society works against the very nature of man so that the simple task of walking has become but a rare talent of few and the path to a connect with nature is dimming from people's view.

" I am glad to the brink of fear. In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth. Within these plantations of God, a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods, we return to reason and faith."

The child within each of us sees far more than the adult looking up at the sun and seeing, feeling, immersing in its nature while the adult stands only to perceive the sun as the light that calls for a new days worth of labor and responsibility.

"The standard of beauty is the entire circuit of natural forms, — the totality of nature; which the Italians expressed by defining beauty "il piu nell' uno." Nothing is quite beautiful alone: nothing but is beautiful in the whole. A single object is only so far beautiful as it suggests this universal grace. "

Beauty is the measure of all the world both life, death, happiness, sadness, coldness, as well as warmth and can be recognized as the simple appearance of nature while it can also present as the perception of the intellect.

"These are the voices which we hear in solitude, but they grow faint and inaudible as we enter into the world. Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members."

Conformity leads people to assimilate a like-mindedness with others stripping people of their individualism and going against the providence of god and the order of nature.

Whitman argues that life is inherently belonging to the individual and that each of us must choose wether we might create our own mark or contribute to the recurring of the play. Will we crumble and assimilate to conformity or will we carry out our individual destiny? We all have a role in life a purpose designed only for us but it is not a given that each of us will carry out this fate. Sometimes people deny the providence of god and the true nature within themselves for a conformity that offers false freedom and leads people astray.

I want my verse to be adventurous. I want to explore and love life, I want to over love, to become enraptured in learning and find something that I am passionate about and become incomparable at it. I want to live like the dead poets and "suck the marrow out of life" to take risks to challenge myself to do things because it scares me and to challenge the traditions of the world because who's to say there can't be a new tradition. I want my words to matter, to be concise and meaningful. I want to be able to convey my own life and understand the life of others. But, most of all I want to live this life not survive it. To live by the song of the morning and not by the minute of the day. I don't want to be one thing like four from divergent I want to be kind, brave, honest, smart, and selfless I can't be just one.

You gotta live knowing the people around you are good
there can be no other livelihood.
I put my trust and love into people that surround me
and with this we can agree,
that all of us are worthy of each other and are living like family.
When someone needs us
we do our best to help and care for others
for everyone is always a sister or a brother, daughter or a mother.
And by simple gestures we can work wonders.

Sometimes people can make mistakes
but mistakes are human as long as they do not recreate
you gotta live knowing that people around you are inherently good
because if we can't live for each other who are we living for?
nothing more than ourselves.
For else we might lead lonely lives.
I know people are inherently good
because I have seen people act selfless and care for another  when they could.
It is a given that god has made us pure and has done so to ensure that we remain true to ourselves and the people we are destined to be.

One way I find simplicity in my life is by going for a jog and clearing my mind running around the park near my house and for 13-15 minutes a day not focusing on anything but the scenery and a nice run.

A common return to nature for me would be a visit to the beach and watching the sunset, the smell of the ocean and the tranquility of the waves often allows a connection with nature that can only be achieved by visiting the beach.

Nature is a teacher of the child and inspires kids to maintain a level of connection with themselves it teaches of an enlightenment that can be found within nature.

It is important to be an independent thinker because people loose their own uniqueness and value when they feel an obligation to assimilate to others ideals.

Society would be better if everyone were self reliant because that means no one would be conforming to another person and their would be increased perspective in the world which would encourage increased understanding.
