Henry David Thoreau and Ralph Waldo Emerson were INDIVIDUALS. Sometimes I feel that people in today's society do not understand that we were all created equal but are individuals at the same time. Pursuing things in a world that has a lot of good, but also a lot of bad that is set to hinder our progression as human beings. In our society today people are afraid to be different so they tend to run with whatever trend is in at the current time. Thoreau and Emerson would have wanted more people to be innovative and in my generation I feel like we are losing touch with our individuality. I understand that the United States is considered a melting pot, but its the individual ingredients in the pot that makes it what it is.
Thoreau stated - "All endeavor calls for the ability to tramp the last mile, shape the last plan, endure the last hours toil. The fight to the finish spirit is the one... characteristic we must posses if we are to face the future as finishers." (more Thoreau quotes)
We have a lot of teaching and learning to do for our generation and the youth. We have to help everyone to reach their ambitious dreams and aspirations. No matter how far'fetched it may seem, every time we push through adversity , visualize our goal, and withstand the bad times, better things come out of it. We just need progression, its in our spirit to fight until the end. So there is a fighting chance, we just have to take it.
