Response "Where I Lived, and What I Lived For?"

This extract tells us how the Henry Thoreau lived in the wood for some days and why they want to do this.He thought that if you are human you must try in this life all what it gives you and if you didn't do it you didn't live.Life in Spartan conditions hlps you to understand the importans of life,because we run through it and didn't mention that we haven't got a lot of time and when we asked ourselfs "what have I done in my life?"we can't answer on this question.I like the idea in which he tells about the rails,that thounds of people laid on this roads,like Yankee or Irishman,who built this road,and nobody cares about it when they ride on this road.But when they run over a man that is walking,they suddenly stop the the cars and cry about it.What is the differences?(Henry David Thoreau,"Where I Lived, and What I Lived For?" 50 essays,New york,2007,p.426)Why we are so blind and see only what we see and never think about what could happend.

I like this essay and absolutly agree with the idea that we must take from life everything it gives to us and never behave ourselfs like animals,which live only by instincts.
