Colin J Siddhartha double PIE paragraph
There are some lessons from Siddhartha that we can definetly apply to our lives today, the one I am going to point out is that we may have to leave some of our friends behind so we can get where we are trying to go. "He has robbed me, yet he has given me something of greater value. He has robbed me of my friend, who believed in me and who now believes in him; he was my shadow and now is Gotama's shadow. But he has given to me Siddhartha, myself."(36) Siddhartha had to leave Govinda behind, in order for him to be able to follow his own path. It was hard for both of them, but they had to do it. In the end it worked out well for the both of them. In my life i didnt really have a choice but i did have to leave one of my friends behind. When i moved from St. Louis i had to leave one of my good friends behind, even though i was really young i can still remember him. I was really little and it was hard for me, it was the first time i experienced that. But eventually it will happen to all of us, whether we need to leave them or we just get seperated. And life continues to go on.
