Thoreau's Walden

Thoreau went to Walden see if transcendentalism is true and to test it he built a Little cabin and lived there. His life was simple and he lived in the woods loving nature and simplicity. Thoreau criticized the modern trains and such that were modern, he said we should walk, provide for our self and live self sufficiently. I disagree with Thoreau because we should move forward and live life depending on each other being too self sufficient can lead to failure.
