I have come back! It has been a full week, maybe even two. It turns out that when I went to the local village they didn’t have the bag of rice that I need to get for Kamaswami . Apparently the merchant sold it to this other local merchant in the village. So, instead I decided to have fun. I enjoyed entertaining the farmers, I played with the children, and I in general had lots of fun. Yet, when I came back Kamaswami was very angry, he was infuriating! He didn’t like the fact that I took time in the other village and that I didn’t come back with the goods that were intended for me to come back with. But I made more connections and people over there now know me more, so it should be alright. Kamala was a little angry too, and one night, she thought that we were different from other people because we could not love.

ReplyDeleteKamaswami should lighten up. Although staying in the village for a week or two and coming back empty-handed can be frustrating, he made a lot of friends that can help him later in life. As for the part about not being able to love, are you sure? Can't we all love?

Why is Siddhartha so naive towards the works of a business? Is he confused or do his years as a Samana prevent him from connecting with those around him?
