First of all, Siddhartha's goal at the beginning was to go on the journey and at the end find enlightenment. But so far he has not turned out what we though he would. The first thing was that he became rich then he possessed a house with his own servants. Many people came to him whether they need advice or money. He also learned how to interact with other people and wear fine clothes. He also ate fish and meat when back then he did not eat any of those things.
My concerns are that Siddhartha is going to get tied up in all this commotion that he is going to forget about what his journey was about. He might just become like a rich person and not find enlightenment as he sough out at the beginning.
Part B.
Dear Ann Lander: My friend Siddhartha says he is planning to leave and follow the Samanas. I begged him and begged him to stay but he just doesn't want to stay. We have been best friends for a long time and i jusy can't put anything together to why he is leaving. Does he not like me anymore? Does he want to follow a different religion? Please Ann Landers, tell me what ii should do.
Dear Chuck Nahasapeemapetilon: All I can tell you is that if you really are his friend, you shuld let him go on whatever journey he has decided to go on. Show him that you belive that he can accomplish what he has set out for. Maybe if you show that you believe in him, after he is done with his journey, then he might return and teach you some of the stuff he learned.
