Walden
Do I have the courage to strip away the unnecessary clutter that complicates my life?
📝ONGO's Reflection
Thoreau's experiment: building a cabin with his own hands by a quiet pond and living on the barest minimum. When I first came to this book, I took it for nothing more than a romantic hymn to nature. But the more pages I turned, the more I understood it as a sharp lash aimed at us, panting after other people's desires as though they were our own. It is the book I reach for when I want to face the true essence of life, to ask whether the things I own might in fact own me. Savor deeply his meditation on making a life richer precisely by paring it down.
"I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life."Henry David Thoreau, Walden
"나는 삶의 진수만을 빨아들이며 살고 싶었기에, 숲으로 갔다. 삶이 아닌 것은 살고 싶지 않았다."
