In Henry David Thoreau’s essay, “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For,” he talks about going out to the woods living by himself and comparing his life with the other people’s life. In his essay, Thoreau writes, “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity!” Before that, Thoreau was saying in his essay that the people are being too complicated with their lives. They multitask with everything that they have. It is not necessary to do too many things a time. That’s why Thoreau wrote, “Simplicity, simplicity, simplicity.” Try to be simple with your life, Thoreau would say. Thoreau also wrote to just get loose. Stop whatever you [the people] are doing and just close your eyes. Try not to think of anything, like you are floating on a piece of cloud and your miseries going away. Try to live comfortably without worries of making breakfast, lunch, dinner. Try to become one with nature itself.
In Thoreau’s essay mentioned above, it can also relate to energy; that meaning, to use energy in an appropriate way. To not waste energy would not only help us out, it can help the economy also. I think that when Thoreau was writing his essay, he means not only just you, the people, but anything that is a natural resource to everyone’s needs. Instead of wasting energy, you can recycle them.
