Read this passage from walden. what advice does henry david thoreau offer those who live in poverty?
"however mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. it is not so bad as you are. it looks poorest
when you are richest. the faultfinder will find faults even in paradise. love your life, poor as it is. you may perhaps have some
pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. the setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly
as from the rich man's abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. i do not see but a quiet mind may live as
contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace."
they should work hard to achieve greater things.
they should retire into the woods and live in solitude.
they should stop paying taxes in order to get ahead.
