On Self-Reliance Part 2

“Good will not have his work made manifest by cowards.”

“Trust thyself: every heart vibrates to that iron ring.”

We feel at our best when we know we did our best.

Not knowing those points or anything in the Emerson essay, I feel, is the reason why many are so misunderstood and are having troubles accepting certain facts or opinions about reality, themselves, and others.

I always had the case of having bad lungs or weak immune system, but not too bad where I needed to have an inhaler with me everywhere.
