Self-Made+Aphorisms

"Follow what is right not what is wrong"

"Simplicity is the key to a cheerful life"

"Be the wiser man in society to show the foolish men what's wrong"

"Law doesn't make us, but we make law"

"Set your mind to what you believe in not on what others believe in"

These aphorisms represent transcendentalist ideas and also civil disobedience. They represent transcendentalist ideas by being nonconformist. Nonconformists stand up for what they believe in. They also know what right and wrong to them and society. These aphorisms are example of what transcendentalist would write or agree with. They would agree with them because they want to live as simple as possible and change this false world. What really inspired me to write these aphorisms was getting to know what was right and wrong. Transcendentalist encouraged me by their writings and aphorisms. I can relate to most of their aphorisms because it connects to most part of this society. But everyone has different opinions. Transcendentalists purpose was to get people to understand to stand up for what they believe in. This piece of writing reflects in many peoples opinions. I agree with transcendentalists because they wanted to change this corrupt government and I would like that to happen. I believe in standing up for what you believe in. You can't let no one put you down just because they don't have the same beliefs as you. They had many ideas so people could understand but I can relate to civil disobedience and knowing from right and wrong and much more.
