Answer: Government can act as an impediment to the will and morality of individual men.

In his essay "Civil Disobedience," Thoreau defends the importance of following one's own will and morality, even when this is opposed to the law. He believes that, sometimes, the government can pass laws that differ from what people know in their heart to be true. When this happens, the people are obligated to act morally, regardless of what the law says. Therefore, it is better if the government governs very little, because this problem will arise less often.

What is the last thing you saw, heard, or read that inspired you?
viktelen [127]

Answer: Since this is a broad question, I will use the book Wonder.

When I read Wonder, it was about a boy who had a "messed up" face, and was builled by it. Throughout the book, he makes friends and do well in his classes, however is still being builled. He even meets a love interest. This inspired me because it shows that no matter how different you are, you can still find people who care about you, and you can still shine. Just because you're different doesn't make you a freak, be yourself.
