I say, let your affairs be as two or three, and not a hundred or a thousand; instead of a million count half a dozen, and keep your accounts on your thumb-nail . . . . Simplify, simplify. Instead of three meals a day, if it be necessary eat but one; instead of a hundred dishes, five; and reduce other things in proportion. What is Thoreau’s viewpoint in this passage? People need to eat fewer meals. People should live more simply. People make life too simple. People make errors in accounting.
