Thoreau

"Where I lived and What I lived for"by Henry David Thoreau is about his experience in the woods. He mentions, "Children, who play life, discern its true law and relations more clearly than men, who fail to live it worthily, but who think that they are wiser by experience, that is, by failure."(Thoreau,1954) He states that children, who play life, live with lightness unlike us, who live with complicated adn seriousness life. I think he wants to say that we need to turn inot simplicity with nature by using less energy resource, as we take off complicated life.
