I struggle to understand the full meaning, definitely requires re-reading to fully appreciate the depth of the tale
A little but profound book about a boy’s journey to self discovery and meaning, seeing him living through different phases of life all the way to old age. What I learned from Siddhartha is this: Whatever I’m going through life, in every situation, in every suffering, there’s always something to learn, as long as I stay open and present. Also, an old and known truism driven home, riches and luxuries don’t bring meaning to our lives. However, I think sometimes we have to toil, suffer, despair and make mistakes in order to clearly see this. Another thing, maybe we need to stop looking so much in order to see that what we look for is staring us in the face.
