my own humanity
i do some writing and observations for the thoreau's society and a blog that i make observations on!, today the anger that welled up in me over reading someone else's "observation" made me hate myself for feeling this way!, at my age now i am a very gentle man and other then man hurting man i do not get angry! yet the site of thoreau is to teach and to give people understanding in many ways ! to make them think and appreciate the nature and the world around them!, people can make observations if they like! , i do every day, mostly i translate his work into ideas understandable in today's world!. today someone had made a simple observation and then had lists of ball caps for sale?! i know it disgusted the followers of this site philosophers students and teachers alike ! to cheapen such a mans work!, yet Thoreau talks and defines human nature! and he tells us in his own way that this is the nature of man! good or bad! i dont have to like it but it is not worthy of me to respond in anger for all to see! and i will make an apology and move past my anger and learn from it, it is the cost of being human.
