Emerson's Self-Reliance essay is so good because it has great ideas and how we should trust ourselves to matter what we are dong. At first it was pretty confusing but the I understood it and I took some quotes from the story to find out the meaning of the quotes. His ideas are very good because they show how someone doesn't have to depend on someone else and they don't depend on another person. I think that everyone should be individual and I think that Emerson would agree with me because that is the whole purpose of this writing.
Emerson had quotes on his writing like "Be Yourself" and "Trust Yourself." I think that this part is really important. I think that this means to always trust yourself and don't care what other people think of you. "Yourself" means only you and not another person. When I do something and I tried my best, I need to trust myself that I did a good job and not have doubts of what I did because I know that I tried my best. For me Self-Reliance in other words means "Trust yourself." This quote is the main idea of the whole writing.
When I am all by myself I always do the right thing. I am not one of those people that do something bad when nobody is looking. I always try to do the right think because if I don't do the right thing I would feel guilty for what I did when I was alone. Most of the time I am happy and I am always respectful to the people that surround me. For me true nature means the negative feeling that a person has I don't know if it is right but I think that is what true nature means. Sometimes I get mad or have other feelings when someone doesn't do the right thing that they are suppose to.
Everything that Emerson said on Self-Reliance was true all about trusting your self to Society being a wave. Everything that Emerson said mostly everyone does it everyday just that we don't even know it and he uses most language than we are uses to talking or hearing.
In conclusion, I think that the Emerson writing was really good in the way it was organized and how it had how people can trust themselves. I think that trusting yourself is very important because without trusting yourself you can not do anything.
