Quote by Henry David Thoreau
As for Doing-good...I have tried it fairly, and, strange as it may seem, am satisfied that it does not agree with my constitution.
Summary
In this quote, the speaker implies that they have attempted to engage in charitable actions and acts of goodness, but they have come to the realization that it does not align with their nature or personal inclination. Despite the societal pressure to do good, they have discovered it to be incompatible with their individual character or preferences. Hence, this acknowledgment suggests that each individual may have their own unique way of contributing to society, and what may be considered good for one person may not necessarily be the same for another.
