I have been reading Walden recently It is a classic collection of proses The writer Henry David Thoreau born in Concord Massachusetts in 1817 is internationally famous for his clear elegant proses
Thoreau HD lived alone in a house he had built himself on the shore of Walden Pond and earned his living by the labor of his own hands He lived there two years and two months And Walden was finished during these days Walden is a book of prose with no particular plots If to say so it consists of passages describing his life such as building a house in the woods working in the beanfield or fishing on a sunny morning These odds and ends as they were lead us into a simple but meaningful world
What is the meaning of life How should we get along with the creatures in nature I keep thinking about these questions Long long ago people lived in harmony with the nature but then greed drive us to break the peace We rule the world in our own ways Then what happens Lots of lakes disappear woods are missing sea creatures decrease sharply and animals are put into the socalled zoos all of which are against the laws of nature However we do not feel happy at all when we look at the sea what we see is floating
garbage instead of clear seawater when we look up to the sky what we see are gray clouds instead of pure white when we come to the country what we find is serious pollution instead of expected peace when we go to the street what we find is the annoying traffic jam instead of pleasant convenience I can never find the charming dreamlike scenery described by ThoreauHD there was eternal spring and placid zephyrs with warm blasts soothed the flowers born without seed But could not our life have a change Yes of course Be friendly to our nature and obey the nature laws Do not get me wrong I am not saying we should go back to growing our own vegetables or building our own houses what I want to propose is that we’d better live a more peaceful life and enjoy the nature As is known to all environment is to the earth what health is to the person I believe that more harmonious society will be found as long as we make friends with the nature
