"If everyone is thinking alike, then no one is thinking."
-Benjamin Franklin
Everyone has a mind of their own. I'm sure Transcendentalists had very different thoughts compared to each other. Everyone's minds are so unique that when one person reads a sentence he thinks blue while another thinks red and another yellow. We have the capacity to let our minds go to places they've never been in. Transcendentalism is a movement that tells you to be yourself and no one else. To have your own mind is the key to living life.
In order to live our lives happily, we must form our own opinions and have our own way of thinking. Don't let other people make your decisions. I agree with you completely.
ReplyDeleteI agree with this post. I like how you said "he thinks blue while another thinks red and another yellow", and its true. Everyone has a mind of there own. I'm pretty sure not everyone thinks the same as I do and I don't always think like them. Its good to have different opinions as others even if they may be negative.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said about how people see things differently from others. I liked how you used the example of seeing things in different colors. If everyone thought the same, it would be a very scary world indeed. For example, my sister is beyond crazy and if everyone thought like her...not a good time. So overall I completely agree with you.
