What does Thoreau mean by his comment It makes but little difference whether you are committed to a farm or the county jail?
He means that either way you re stuck somewhere you don't want to be with no way to leave.Thoreau is writing about the dangers of commitment and how this can actually inhibit you from living your life in a way that is in opposition to the "quiet desperation" that is evident in the life of so many. Thoreau basically argues that it doesn't matter to what you are committed. This could be to either a farm or to a jail. What concerns Thoreau, and what he writes about, is the fact that the very commitment that you display will impact your ability to live the kind of life that he espouses in this text.
Thoreau means that true freedom and contentment come from within oneself, rather than from external circumstances. Whether one is confined in a jail or living on a farm, one can still find inner peace and fulfillment by living a simple and deliberate life in tune with nature.

I still love my ex boyfriend but dont know how to win him back WHAT CAN I DO?
(Read comment on discussion first)Have you told him that you want to be with him again? If not you definitely should. It sounds like he just needed a break from dating and being committed. Find out (i.e. ask him) whether he only doesn't want to date right now or whether he's really over you. If it's the latter, you'll have to get over him too. If he only doesn't want to be in a relationship right now, consider whether you want to wait for him, whether he's worth it, and then decide to wait or get over him.
