Ralph Waldo Emerson

“An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory.” Humanity is in grave danger of devolving itself. Think for yourself. This is all I ask of our species, that we may recognize the beauty of nature and of result ourselves. What we are told to do, what we are made to do, is not what we are. Thought, and its practice, is an individual’s work. A perfectly harmonized existence belongs to man if we can free ourselves of precedents and the expected way of existing. Make no mistake I am a simple man. However my thought is sometimes too complicated for my speech. And as you may be able to detect, oratory is not my strong point. Writing is my most effective operation. I am merely an author and a philosopher. An observer of God’s world. My dream is for each and every man to stop and see the purity of nature, of his being, and of America, and that the only thing of importance is living without fear of not following the previous.

The end of the human race will be that it will eventually die of civilization.”

Now my dear Ralphy. I agree with you on some of your sayings. But how can one truly see the world knowing that their fellow man/women are cooped up inside a cell in inhumane conditions. Before we can truly see the true face of nature, i believe that we must insure the good and prosperity too all humans, so we can all share God's views together. Like they say, everything's more fun in a group. And speaking of which, we should have tea sometime, it was a lot of fun last time with your silly way of talking.
