Discussion Highlights:

- He may have believed that he could have never become like his father because it may have been a childhood idea that he never realized how good his father.

-He also may have heard stories about his father that makes him seem better than he was.

-Due to his fathers influence on his life, he is never satisfied with his own achievements and always feels like he should be doing more.

-It would have depended on the situation for whether or not we would have done the same thing as Siddhartha. If we were older than we probably would have just left.

- However, it is important to have a father figure and especially one who is supportive of your decisions.

Members Present: 1, Liam and Charlie are absent

Discussion Highlights:

- We think that we would have had a similar feeling as the son as we wouldn’t have been able to recognize the holiness that Siddhartha has.
-we would have had a tough time following our mothers to this man whom we never met and only heard things about.
- Siddhartha is probably fine with the people coming to see him because he feels like he made an impact on people.
- This makes him feel important to the world in his final days.
- I am pretty interested in this book as the story flows well and it helps me understand it.

Why does Siddhartha's Son not accept him? What caused his son to turn his back on him?

# data[].attributes.body
Hesse writes that everyone loved Siddhartha. He also states that Siddhartha wasn’t happy or satisfied. Why do you think this is?

What would you have done if your father refused to let you do something like Siddhartha’s father did? Would you have left without his approval or stayed and waited?

If you were in the same position as Kamala’s son, would you have reacted the same when you were forced to go on this long journey?

How do you think Siddhartha feels about the many people who came to see him before he dies?

# data[].attributes.body
Siddhartha is self-destructive in a way where he is feeling joy. Although he isn't letting himself excite that joy. The whole premise of the religion is to not feel anything.
