First Impressions of "On Self-Reliance

Emerson wrote this essay on self reliance and talked about how people should be themselves. What got me interested is the Latin words in the beginning. The Latin words made me feel like it wants to connect to me somehow with a deeper feelings because he expressing the words that are the bases of many languages. It made the essay feel more serious and not like he's just saying it to say it. I feel that he made this with the intention to make people be unique and not follow the crowd of people.
