Emerson: Self Reliance

     In this writing by Emerson, he states that a genius is someone who believes their own thoughts, and what they know is true in their hearts. Not just what is accepted by all and other people. He states that a genius can come in many different "forms", not just the famous geniuses that everyone knows. Emerson talks about self worth as well. He says that all men have the responsibility to think for themselves and lean on their own beliefs and thoughts.
    Emerson's saying that a genius can come in many different forms reminds me of the quote from Albert Einstein. He says "Everyone's a genius, but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life thinking it is stupid." This relates directly to what Emerson is saying and shows that  just because you aren't a math or science genius, does not mean you aren't a genius in some other way.
   What does Emerson mean by "trifles" when he talks about societal disapproval?
