In Thoreau's essay he portrays how life and technology are evolving very fast and how we do not take time to appreciate the simpliest ways of life. The author compares how we base our daily ways of living by the news we read and the gossip of others. The inventions coming into the nation are making life frivilous, not laboring for achievement. "If you stand right fronting and face to face to a fact, you will see the sun glimmer on both sides of the surface." This statement gives the idea we are no longer within our moral, but the morals of how others perceive the fact. This essay states life should be taken one day at a time, to live by how we feel within ourselves, not to be influenced by the easy way of getting things done. If we feel it is not complete, we need to check our moral compass to make it right.
