There I feel that nothing can befall me in life, -- no disgrace, no calamity, (leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair.” 325141 https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198156675 Ralph Waldo Emerson from “Nature”]]> 2017-10-18 10:42:25 UTC https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198156675 1D) “...as the eye is the best composer, so light is the first of painters.” 325141 https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198156835 Ralph Waldo Emerson from “Beauty”]]> 2017-10-18 10:43:20 UTC https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198156835 1E) “Society everywhere is in conspiracy against the manhood of every one of its members.” 325141 https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198156906 Ralph Waldo Emerson from “Self Reliance”]]> 2017-10-18 10:43:46 UTC https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198156906 5) Barren Confines 325141 https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198158253 Soulless eyes wander across the barren field
Yes, the safe route. No surprises found
The horde amasses only to yield
A soaring structure from sky to ground
The dim light grows dimmer, hope has keeled
This pasture, one of confinement
This pasture, one of suffering
This pasture, in need of adjustment
This pasture, in need of defeating

“No more!” said one
“One more!” said none
A star was born - What a sight!
Climbing high, society to smite
Across new fields, green greener than any green
“My path”
“Your path”
Separate but equal
Here we stand
Now beginning our sequel.

I will be known as the person who fought for what he thought was right and took nothing less than change or being proved wrong. I aspire to be a sensitive, caring person; yet tough, and sensible in order to be a good listener as well as a good learner. In a sense, I aspire to care for my work, yet stand behind it and take criticism lightly, but still learn from them instead of becoming depressed. In this case, I wish to celebrate myself as opposed to comparing myself to people around me and seeing another person’s success as not threatening towards me. This way, I can focus more on helping myself versus beating myself up emotionally; be sensible and tough. This way, I can pave a progressive path forward in life and leave a lasting legacy when I pass with having lived a life of achievement, whatever those achievements may be.]]> 2017-10-18 11:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198161810 9) Transcendental Challenges 325141 https://padlet.com/325141/4awf7ydacyn2/wish/198169638 The tenets of transcendentalism express abstractions in order to reflect on primarily human existence/society, such as the rejection of tradition, social reform, or nature’s relationship to one’s existence. These tenets contribute to one of the primary goals of transcendentalism: to allow one to express and define themselves as an individual. In modern day life however, living out tenets of transcendentalism incorporates many challenges. These challenges can take the form of personal conflict, success in society, and the moral impact of the actions a transcendentalist can have.

The philosophy path does this by incorporating various tenets which act as mediums of thought, helping people to think for themselves and to become a better, stronger person.
