Then, he wrote the famous Walden: "We work hard and live hard every day, but we always lose something unconsciously. In the face of inflated material desires, what we need is a heart that can calm down. Excess wealth can only buy excess things, and there is no need to buy what is necessary for the human soul. "
No matter how humble your life is, face it squarely and move on; Don't avoid it, let alone make it worse. Your life is not as bad as you think. When you are the richest, your life looks the poorest. The faultfinder can find faults even in heaven.
Love your life, even if it is poor. Even in a poor house, you can enjoy a happy, exciting and brilliant time. The setting sun in the west is reflected on the windows of poor people's homes, as radiant as it is on the mansions of rich people; The snow in front of the door melts in early spring.
A calm person can live happily there, with excited and optimistic ideas, just like living in a palace.
