Walden and "Civil Disobedience"

"..the man who goes alone can start to-day; but he who travels with another must wait till that other is ready, and it may be a long time before they get off." p. 58

(R) Thoreau is the prime example of a loner. And while he does have a point in saying that most things are better done alone, he fails to factor in the emotional and psychological benefits of having company. His philosophy is one of efficiency, not happiness.
