Thoreau suggests that owning land is not all it's cracked up to be. He suggests that landowners sell their land and eliminate unnecessary responsiblities. Freedom from property allows people the time and freedom to do as they please.

"A man is rich in proportion to the number of things which he can afford to let alone.”
