Siddhartha 2

Chapter 2

Throughout this chapter that basically explained the what happened to Siddhartha and how he can grow as a person he also realizes that he can find himself by being alone and appreciating his surroundings something he didn’t do before.

 In this blog post I’m going to connect what happened to Siddhartha to several things. The first connection I want to make is that we can see that the teachings of the Tao are shown in this book. When Siddhartha is in the river valley with the fisher man he gets to see what is the importance of everything and more of the river "You need to learn from the river". I think this river has a purpose of being so important and its going to have a big role in the rest of the book. 

I want to continue reading and seeing what can happens with Siddhartha's job and his relationship with Kamala. 

Siddhartha 1

Chapter 1:

I think the first chapter was crucial for what may happen later on in the book. Siddharthas growth as well as the paths he takes to achieve inner peace. This involves joining a group of Samanas who are people that want to reach enlightenment through sacrifice. Once Siddhartha leaves the Samanas, he decides to seek englightenment through Buddha, but he chooses to go his own way and teach himself inner peace. After reading this part many question arose.

Why did he want to go to the Samanas if he could stay with his family in a really rich and comfortable environment? This is my main question because him going away from everything that he has to be very important for the corse of the book. This leads me to another question which is: How would this affect him in the future? the decision of leaving everything and everyone has to be very difficult so how will that change him later on.

Im looking forward to reading more of the book and clarify my questions and help give me adivice to how you should live your life and not follow the normal paths, but go your own way.
