Thoreau starts off the chapter pondering the places he could have went to rather Waldon Pond. He didn't care that Waldon Pond wasn't as big as the places he had pondered about.
1. Thoreau believes that you don't need any kind of wealth or money, therefore I believe he falls into the category of the subjectivists point of view. He mentions that he'd want trust more than love, money, or fame.
2. Thoreau also says that he believes the universe is more then are beliefs of it. By this statement, it makes me believe that Thoreau thinks there is more to the universe than we know. A person may know a lot about some certain ideas but in reality only knows a fraction of everything out there.
3. I agree because being rich is what you think the definition of rich means. Some people think rich is fame and fortune and other people think being rich is faithfulness and other qualities. For me I don't need to have a lot of money to be happy.
