Siddhartha blog

In the book Siddhartha, Siddhartha learnes many lessons. Like the lesson he learnes about happiness. "That was how everybody loved Siddhartha. He delighted and made everybody happy. But Siddhartha himself was not happy." (page 5) This quote showes that being loved does not allwayse birng happiness. I learned this same lesson after a championship loss in football. Every one was telling me that i still played good and i was player of the game and my paretns told me they loved me. This did not make me feel any better even though i was well liked and loved it did not bring me happiness. This is an important lesson one must learn in life and a lesson that i had the chance to learn at an early age.
