Title: Not Out of the Woods Yet Our survival depends on our capacity to create an economic and social system grounded in a new set of values that reflects Thoreau’s ideas of simplicity, love and respect for nature, and personal development.

However, we will probably not get serious about ecology until some major catastrophe hits the developed world, then we might assume that something needs to change; meanwhile the vast majority of us will keep worshiping our IPhones and throwing trash to the sea.

If people lived in “quiet desperation” in 1854, how are we living now?

The modern world is certainly insane: many people live miserably working long hours for little money and many of those who are economically stable live depressed in conformity.

Nevertheless, who are we to judge whether a life has been well or badly lived?

Life is life, there is not purpose beyond the mere act of living, and any attempt to make sense out of life is naïve.

Accept your fate, embrace your sorrow as you do with your happiness, and never stop yourself from feeling.
