Morris #Berman über Henry David #Thoreau​s #Walden:

Ein #Junggeselle, der einen #gegenkulturell​en #Lebensstil ohne #finanziell​e #Abhängigkeit, d. h. ohne #Kinder, führt, benötigt weniger #Ressource​n als ein #Ehepaar mit #Kind​ern, und eine #alleinerziehend​e #Mutter mit Kindern benötigt eindeutig mehr Ressourcen als ein Gesellschaft ablehnender Junggeselle.

[cont.]

"...and yet he had rated it as a gain in coming to America, that here you could get tea, and coffee, and meat every day. But the only true America is that country where you are at liberty to pursue such a mode of life as may enable you to do without these, and where the state does not endeavor to compel you to sustain the slavery and war and other superfluous expenses which directly or indirectly result from the use of such things."

"I did not use tea, nor coffee, nor butter, nor milk, nor fresh meat, and so did not have to work to get them; again, as I did not work hard, I did not have to eat hard, and it cost me but a trifle for my food; but as he began with tea, and coffee, and butter, and milk, and beef, he had to work hard to pay for them, and when he had worked hard he had to eat hard again to repair the waste of his system"

A quotation from Thoreau

Why should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau (1817-1862) American philosopher and writer
Walden; or, Life in the Woods, ch. 18 "Conclusion" (1854)

Sun rays and dark clouds over Walden Pond. .

A few bright rays of sun coming out of a modeled sky, beaming down onto Waldin Pond a dark ring of trees on the far shore is visibleA photo of Waldin Pond, broken into three parts. The top part is a stormy looking sky full of dark clouds. The middle line is the trees on a hill, the bottom third is the water of Waldin Pond and a strip of sand.

“I had three pieces of limestone on my desk, but I was terrified to find that they required to be dusted daily, when the furniture of my mind was all undusted still, and I threw them out the window in disgust. How, then, could I have a furnished house? I would rather sit in the open air, for no dust gathers on the grass, unless where man has broken ground.”

“If I knew for a certainty that a man was coming to my house with the conscious design of doing me good, I should run for my life, as from that dry and parching wind of the African deserts called the simoom, which fills the mouth and nose and ears and eyes with dust till you are suffocated, for fear that I should get some of his good done to me,—some of its virus mingled with my blood. No,—in this case I would rather suffer evil the natural way.”
