in response to the article below.....

Conclusion: This final chapter is more passionate
and urgent than its predecessors. In it, Thoreau
criticizes Americans' constant rush to succeed, to
acquire superfluous wealth that does nothing to
augment their happiness. He urges us to change
our lives for the better, not by acquiring more
wealth and material possessions, but instead to
"sell your clothes and keep your thoughts," and
to "say what you have to say, not what you ought."
He criticizes conformity: "If a man does not keep
pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he
hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music
which he hears, however measured or far away."
By doing these things, men may find happiness
and self-fulfillment.
