He feels that people should be closer to God and nature. By doing this does not require people to be closer to other people or in any institution or places like the post office or the school.  These places make people forget and distract about the purpose of man.

Answer

In Walden, Thoreau states that he does not like institutions such as the postal service and the press, as he believes that they do not contribute anything new to society. He believes that few thoughts and letters are worth the price paid for postage. He also believes that there is never new "news," just the same events happening to different people at different times. These views support Thoreau's beliefs that individualism and self-reliance are more important than society or any institution.
