In response to Emerson's essay I feel he was very intellectual. Although, I didn't agree with majority of his views; two passages in particular were interesting. First of all, I am appalled that Emerson started with "spotty" education and graduated from Harvard
University. I felt that displayed a glimpse of his desire and showed why so many people admired Emerson. His thinking was a bit peculiar when he said, "To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart, is true for all men. That quote impressed upon me that Emerson was very a great orator, very persuasive and powerful speaker.
The first passage that was significant to me was, "If malice and vanity wear the coat of philanthropy, shall that pass?" This quote by Emerson is very short, yet very powerful.
Emerson speaking on a subject of philanthropy which has plummeted as good cause in the
21st century. However, some of the those early philanthropists during Emerson's period of living were funding wars for fighting countries and would usurp the losing countries goods and liquidate their land and valuables; while receiving interest from the war victor. This act of philanthropy was later reversed with funding for "peace on war"; which is a mental control on population. Emerson being aware of this being from that era and viewing it personally, also foreseen what would be one hundred plus years from the initial deception plot. Emerson took a subliminal shot at those condoning in malice and vanity acts of such. Those very acts are responsible for deaths of innocent and selfish, vain acts from the people imposing them. The second passage i felt was significant from Emerson was. "No kernel of nourishing corn can come to him but through his toil bestowed on that plot of ground which is given to him to till.
The power which resides in him is new in nature, and none but he knows what that is which he can do, nor does he know until he has
