Transcendentalism Song - 3
"Numb" by Linkin Park (0:21- 0:51)
This song also displays the concept of individuality, one highly related to transcendentalism. The lyrics describe a situation in which one feels limited and influenced by another, preventing one from being truly individual. It also describes how a limiting presence in one's life should be avoided at all costs. As Ralph Waldo Emerson writes, "men measure their esteem of of each other by what each has, and not what each is." Nobody is more familiar with your potential than you, and those who limit it do not truly understand it, and should not only be avoided, but entirely opposed and learned from.
