Virginia Woolf in 'The Death of the Moth' portrays life as a struggle against death, with meaning found in the struggle itself. Henry David Thoreau, in contrast, suggests in 'Walden' that meaningfulness comes from a life of simplicity and closeness to nature. Both perspectives have merit: life often feels meaningless because of our external expectations, but struggle can also be a source of meaning.
In "The Death of the Moth," Virginia Woolf views life as a struggle against the inevitable death. Despite the fragility and insignificance of an individual life when faced with the might of death, she proposes that the meaning is found in the struggle itself. Each life has an inherent drive to exist, despite its 'apparent meaninglessness'.
On the other hand, Henry David Thoreau acknowledges the existence of this struggle but offers a different perspective in 'Walden.' He advocates for a life of simplicity and closeness to nature as a way to imbue life with meaning, ultimately suggesting that meaningfulness is not external, but comes from the self.
I agree with both Woolf and Thoreau in different ways. I believe life often feels meaningless because we, as humans, seek to impose external meanings on it, rather than finding the value within ourselves and our experiences as Thoreau suggests. However, I also appreciate Woolf's point that struggle itself can be a source of meaning.
