No offense intended here, however I must state that one who does not see or try to discover the enlightening ideals seeping from "Walden" is not trying hard enough. <br>The first read, surely of any piece of good literature will come across as befuddling, however with an open mind and a great professor, the more one studies the text, the better they understand the concepts. Best of luck. I hope you come to see what you are missing out on.<br><br>Kate
