Read the excerpt from Walden. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the la

ke, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled. These small waves raised by the evening wind are as remote from storm as the smooth reflecting surface. How does the excerpt support Thoreau’s view on solitude?

Thoreau uses the description of the movement of the trees and the serenity of the lake to support the idea that true reflection is achieved through solitude, ideally while in nature. Thoreau believes that a oneness with nature and with the self are essential for becoming a more enlightened person, and that solitude is key ingredient for this. Thoreau describes the serenity of the lake and its distance from the storm, much as he would describe the serenity of the mind when far from the hustle and bustle of society.

Answer:

Respected

Explanation:

It is better to be respected in my opinion. It is better respected than loved because love can get to personal, make someone uncomfortable, and it can be overwhelming. When you are loved you can feel like there is someone watching you making sure you love them back. There is mental diseases that can affect somebody's comfortability due to love. Also, love can get to personal and touchy at times. I say it's better to be respected.

When you are respected you are calm and kind to people. It isn't much of a struggle to respect somebody back. When you give respect it can make someone happy or be your friend. While also knowing that they will never watch over you or care deeply about how you feel towards them. Respecting people is natural for people to do and see.

In the end, I think being respected is better for those following reasons. Having somebody love you is to much stress and can take time away from what you want to do in life. How does being respected or loved affect you?
