The value of patience is the capacity to accept or tolerate, problems, or delay without becoming annoyed or anxious, and the value of caring means displaying kindness and concern for others. Like showing interest to someone. These two values are in the story in different parts and also in different ways, this story makes the readers to be not be afraid of being themselves and makes us feel comfortable with what we think, and with who we are. The author focus a lot on the effects of self reliance, and this makes people to develop and accept their own culture. Self reliance makes us be patient because we must not discriminate any other person and is an example of caring because we must care about ourselves to be self reliance. the fact that he says we are free to practice any religion is an patience, every single person in the world is free to show his culture and be proud of it, being patient with this means respect them, don't judged and as they accept their own culture, we don't have to be afraid of who we are, we must love ourselves, just as Emerson invites us to do with our own culture, Truth is within one’s self. Emerson says that reliance upon institutionalized religion hinders the ability to grow mentally as an individual. Also Emerson mentions that citizens control the government so they have control. He also mentions “History cannot bring enlightenment; only individual searching can.” this sentence is an example of caring, because it show us that we need to search our enlightenment just to let ourselves be happy. Emerson wrote how the community is a distraction to self growth I believe he means with this that community with their distractions and their bad things and with people judging is not a good place to be self reliant cause this type of things affects us. This would help the people to not change their beliefs just because other people aren't patient with them or just didn't care enough about humans. Emerson with makes us think about what might we need to think or what we need to do, without caring about someone else's opinion, he also said that the people don't have to be conformist but they need to look to big things and be happy and always go for more and explore ourselves and personalities. Emerson in this story has the message of being caring everywhere you have to be caring with others and with ourselves, he states many times that is not bad that we are different but we need to be ourselves even if people says that is wrong we truly belief is right. In my opinion, to be self reliant is to be comfortable and happy with who you are and don't let the society changes your way of being, but to reach that we need patience and caring not just with others and ourselves, we need to value what others feels or what they think. I like this story because it really makes me think and analyze many aspects of my life
