I have been walking around for sometime and I have become to realize that sometimes I have to see things for what they are (nothing less or more). I want more experiences in my life. I have always looked for things with a deeper meaning and am always seeking Nirvana. Sometimes I over complicate things, but I found joy in the simple wonders of life. Everything is beautiful! Growing up, I have only learned from the teachings of other people. Now I need to learn by myself, without the help of others. A wise man spoke to me, and what I got from his preaching was that it was wrong to completely deny my self, and lately I have noticed that; but that is what I have been taught growing up, and I have not learned anymore. I have done many horrible inflicting things to my body, which I shouldn’t have. Tonight, I am going to be spending the night at a ferryman’s hut. Tomorrow, the ferryman will take me across the river.
The first sentence should read, "...I have come to realize..." and the second sentence should read, "I want to experience more things..." Overcomplicate is one word and saying, "...I need to learn by myself, without the help of others," is a little redundant. Siddhartha's feelings were portrayed wonderfully and this journal is extremely accurate. Nice job!

Who is the wise man Siddhartha speaks of in this passage? How is Siddhartha able to sleep in the ferryman's hut?
