-Discontent is the want of self reliance

On Self Reliance (Part 4)

Self Reliance

Nothing is at last sacred but the integrity of your own mind. 

·Do not only act good to look good do good as well

·Do not only do things just to look good but to really do good to what you are intrested in

For nonconformity the world whips you with its displeasure.

Being like everyone else will just make you like a drone and be like everyone else but if you seperate yourself and be yourself then you will be true to yourself and not fit in because the world is about fitting in but when you are your true self then you'll feel good when you do things that are good instead of doing things that make you look good.

On Self Reliance Continued

Emerson talks about the different stages of how your development is and I completely agree with him because he is right when we were young we were filled with energy and didnt question anything but as we got older we grew a conscience of our own and questioned everything we did or thought

On Self Reliance

·Our acts our angels are, or good or ill.
·To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men -your belief.  Your self is genius.

My first impression of the Self Reliance essay excerpt is that it has a lot of meaningful thought put into in it because it talks about alot of stuff that relates and that is true to most of us around the world
