Why you should....

[fuagf]

Yes, similar though not the same, reals vs ideals, reality understandings vs utopian yearnings, B402ish

""And so it goes................."
Well, if you've ever been to Tralfamador or Dresden... "

B402's Thoreau mentions is related... my thoughts

You come over as nothing but a navel gazing 'where is my utopia on earth' whiner.
That's a nod to your mention of Thoreau earlier.

on B402's consistent moans, who posited Thoreau as his human model, yet after repeated requests. The first

Philosophy and simple living has their place. But you can't manage a country solely on them.
Why not post about what writings inspired Thoreau's thoughts. Go into it deeper why not.
And i invite you to post what Thoreau said about himself when he came to die.

Two, how about my simple request that you post Thoreau's message to the world 'when he came to die.'

Thoreau, Henry David. Walden; or Life in the Woods. Boston: Ticknor and Fields, 1854.

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practice resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms, and, if it proved to be mean, why then to get the whole and genuine meanness of it, and publish its meanness to the world; or if it were sublime, to know it by experience, and be able to give a true account of it in my next excursion. — Henry David Thoreau, Walden.

Walden or Life in the Woods is written by transcendentalist Henry David Thoreau and was first published in 1854.
The work is part personal declaration of independence, social experiment, voyage of spiritual discovery, satire, and manual for self-reliance. It describes Thoreau’s experiences over the course of two years in a cabin he built near Walden Pond, amidst woodland in Massachusetts, owned by his friend and mentor Ralph Waldo Emerson.
