Hello again, it's me Zhou Yun; I'm here to re cap on the total sum of Siddhartha's life journey. Just to remind you all, I'm one of Siddhartha's closest friends, not as close as Govinda though. Anyways, after following Siddhartha on his journey to self enlightenment, I think that he learned the suffering in life is never ending, and I think I saw him learn this lesson best when he witnessed the death of his beloved and abandonment of his only son.
Well to begin, I first saw Siddhartha learn that suffering is an endless cycle when I followed his wife and son to the fishermans hut. I witnessed Kamala get bitten, and then taken to Siddhartha who happened to be with Vasudeva, the fisherman. When Kamala finally died, Siddhartha went to the river, and listened. From my point of view, I believe that when Siddhartha listened to the river, he knew more than he did before he began to listen; and this is where I believe he learned that life is an endless cycle of turmoil. Although the death of his beloved was devastating and heart breaking, Siddhartha wouldn't have learned the lesson he did without the event taking place.
To continue, I also witnessed Siddhartha learning that suffering is a vital part of all human life when I saw his only son abandoned him and the fisherman, for good. It was early in the morning when I saw young Siddhartha take a basket of gold coins with him, and take his fathers boat accross the river. Young Siddhartha wanted to leave his father and did not want to be followed, this kind of abandonment truly hurt Siddhartha, but without it, Siddhartha wouldn't have learned.
In conclusion, I believe that Siddhartha's life journey was a success. It was indeed hard for him to succeed, but he succeeded in finding inner peace. I finally knew all pain, all knowledge, and understood why we suffer. Siddhartha is truly an amazing man and he is to be remembered for all time.
