Read the excerpt from the “Conclusion” of Walden. I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; new, universal, and more liberal laws will begin to establish themselves around and within him; or the old laws be expanded, and interpreted in his favor in a more liberal sense, and he will live with the license of a higher order of beings.
What belief about life is being described in this excerpt?
Individuals eventually learn to appreciate their surroundings.
Individuals who follow their dreams eventually attain them.
Cultures have a tendency to force their values on individuals.
As cultures change, individuals change along with them.
