I've had heard of Thoreau before. This week I read a book by a famous book author who wrote that Thoreau was a really big inspiration in his youth. Then when searching the Internet I learned that Ralph Waldo Emerson and Thoreau were friends, and that the Walden book is freely available via project Gutenberg.

I like the Thoreau idea of critical thinking, being independent, and not blindy following traditions and habits (Like e.g. now "x-mas", Black Friday, the firework madness at New Years Eve and so on). Even though we sadly live in a world in crisis, every day is a special day :) Minutes, days and years are just human made up time tools to help us with our agendas. The sun and the moon and the stars know better than that.
