The Transcendentalists were radical thinkers. At the time of their meetings, New England was still holding on to a remnant of Puritanical values. There was a sense that organized religion had authority over one's personal life and individual choices. For the Transcendentalists, this was a big no-no! They were quite critical of conformity, or forcing one's behavior to match social expectations or standards. They were nonconformists - people who do not conform to a generally accepted pattern of thought or action. They rejected common ideas and practices, particularly organized religion. There wasn't a Transcendentalist church or a holy book of Transcendentalism. Instead, there were regular meetings for lively conversation and a shared hope of cultivating a modern, fluid, and personal sense of spirituality.

In this bizarre new world we live in, expect the unexpected. The normal chronology of life has been altered. After the epidemic, the Organization had to instill an embargo on unnecessary travel. It was for our own good. Their catchy slogans filled with alliterations and analogies to make us remember .By "staying inside at all costs" we were keeping each other alive. Local scientists believed that strange antibodies mixed with the chemicals made these zombie-like creatures. Some of us were lucky enough to not carry them. The Organization believed it was deign to talk to anyone outside our walls, that they could be infected too. At the time, everyone was an exponent of their ideas because we all wanted to survive. But Now? I am ready to boycott. As I step outside for the fist time in years, covered in green camouflage and overly enthusiastic, I am ready to reunite with the world.
