I'm Lost
I am finished with teachers and their teachings. I want to know myself, and understand who I am without the helf of anyone. I feel as thought I see the world, so magical and real, for the first time. Suddenly I feel a power of self - realization. I feel like a grown man. A confident man. This feeling of being free gives me a much larger desire to learn who I am, and what my place in this world is, on my own, not from someone else's experience or teachings. I want to learn and find my own path to Nirvana. I know that it will come from inside, from within myself. I was thinking about going back to my father, but I realized that going back to my father would mean going back to my past life and that is not what I want. Suddenly, I felt so lonely, alone in this huge world without anywhere to go.

There is a typo in the second and third sentences: "helf" should be "help" and "thought" should be "though". The seventh sentence is a bit long and confusing. Splitting it up would probably make it more understandable. In the second to last sentence, saying "going back to my father" twice is redundant. Everything else is great!

We are all lost in one way or another. I enjoyed reading this passage very much. Great job on this one!

Is Siddhartha leaving all he has ever learned?
ReplyDeleteDoes he mention Govinda's intake on his decision to leave?
-Judith Garcia
So far, what has Siddhartha truly learned? Govinda's opinion is still left on this matter, do you know what it its?
