Emerson, conformity, individuality and solitude
- Emerson's desire of nonconformity leads to individuality.
- Indeed, he believes that when among fellows, one cannot really separates his own desires and their desires for him.
- However, being independent when alone is good, being independent among others is great: “it is easy in solitude to live after our own; but the great man is he who in the midst of the crowd keeps with perfect sweetness the independence of solitude.” However, solitude is necessary to attain such a state of mind, because acting like this require strength and clarity of mind.
- Even when he was his fellows students, McCandless was not alike his peers: obsessed by books and peculiar, content with very little, it was more than a simple desire to get away from civilization, it had become a need.
- He was by no mean antisocial, he simply needed a lot of time for himself but could get along with people he met.
- He also insists that if we are truly honest with ourselves, we will have an unique experience, because we won't be behaving like lemmings, but we will create our own path: “Envy is ignorance, imitation is suicide.”.
- We are not victims as so many authors say, but creators.
- Chris did not want to follow a touristic trip, he wanted to create his own path and discover something new, something original.
