“Giving kids clothes and food is one thing but it is much more important to teach them that other people besides themselves are important, and that the best thing they can do with their lives is to use them in the service of other people.” - Dolores Huerta

Siddhartha Notes

  • theme: self-awareness, self-discovery >> past life no longer pertains, reason for slight despair >> freedom to create himself
  • "snake in his path"
  • repetition of ideas, phrases (awakening, shiver)
  • sense of being revealed or a sense of vulnerability
  • Brahmin > highest social class > leaving is a sort of betrayal to their beliefs and ideas
  • tone: searching for a self of belonging, self-pity (beginning) ----> moving on (end)
  • no longer looking back
  • last sentence could be seen as a positive or negative
