American Soldier-Emerson

It seems that Emerson is emphasizing the importance of the self, and how everything is determined by the self. There is no need to spend a large portion of life reading what others have written about a theory, it should be up to the individual to have their own interpretation of what life has to offer. if anything, the works that philosophers have produced should serve as a guideline that is subject to change; in other words, use published works to inspire your own. One should concentrate on their surroundings, and serve that  as inspiration to  what life has to offer. Emotions should arise, as well as other emotions and with that said, should be a connection between  the individual and nature. There are so many opportunities to grow as an individual through experiences and obstacles that are presented to an individual, and it is up to that sole person to determine how to approach it.
