No One Is Alone

In my American Literature I class we are currently talking about Transcendentalism and all of the ideas behind it. I think that it is a very important concept to grasp because it has a very peaceful message that everyone should try to relate to. Basically, Transcendentalism is the idea that we are all connected through nature and spiritual things and you can be alone without being lonely and you should try to abandon the materialistic aspects of your life. While it may be a very hard thing to practice every day I think that it is something that you should try to think about, especially when you are feeling down and alone, and I think it is a good way to run your classroom — keep everything connected and peaceful.

  1. Haha this is funny because I was just telling my friend how I am annoyed with peoples lack of concern for our environment. I went on to talk about how I love to camp and hike, and all that fun stuff. He called me a transcendentalist. But I do agree! It's extremely peaceful to feel "at one with the earth" :).
