Henry David Thoreau

Human beings or “the man”. When this one borns it carries the right to freely develop and according to the demands of nature, physical, moral and intellectual faculties which constitute his being. These powers or attributes are revealed in needs and actions, whose satisfaction and performance represent additional rights, which more certainly meet in a future.

The human has the power to think, the need to express and realize their thinking from their essence.

The man as a member of society, has the right to intervene directly on indirectly. But at the end its still directly.(It is the world)
