I prefer transcendentalism because I like the connections with nature. When reading the segment from Walden, I felt that I could connect with what was expressed. I agree that humans have a strong connection with nature. I prefer transcendentalism over anti transcendentalism because I like the happiness of it. I like to think that nature is good, because everything in nature needs to occur in order for new processes to start. The truth can be found, even if it hurts or causes problems, it is still the truth. Mother Nature has always been a figure to society and excepted, even when not seen as a deity. I think that people appreciate nature more than they think they do, and that they can connect with transcendentalism if they learn about it.
Aphorisms/Apothegms: short, instructive truths/quotes... I like apothegms and I think that many people find comfort or inspiration from them.
The short sayings of wise and good men are of great value, like the dust of gold, or the sparks of diamonds.
– John Tillotson

I love the picture and both quotes...yay for Mother Nature.
