The deep thinking of Walden
It is a millenary life proposition—how to live? In Thoreau’s view, “people can be seen anywhere in the shops, offices, fields, engaged into thousands of shocking hard labor as if they are atoning”, such people, “ have no opportunity to do anything but being a machine.” “Humans are living a life of silence and desperation.” Determined to find out the highest principles of human life for this, Thoreau achieved his aspiration in Walden. He said: “it is not only in theory but also in practice should we solve the problems in life.”
