Siddhartha assignment

Siddhartha's departure from home against his fathers word, was a very brave task to do. This was a very brave desicion, because Siddhartha has never been far away from home, and go against his fathers beliefs and opinions. " Siddhartha, " he said, "why are you waiting?" "you know why." ...(pg.11-12). When i see Siddhartha leaving his dad, i wonder if i would leave my family, go against my fathers word, and go on my life desired journey, how would i even surrvive? I believe i would not be able to acctually come through with it. In the book Siddhartha also leaves Govinda, his best freind and companionship. He leaves his friend, beacause he feels their are greater paths for him, but not for Govinda. "You have heard my blessing, Govinda. I repeat it. May you travel this path to the end. May you find salvation! in that moment, Govinda realized that his friend was leaving himand he began to weep." (pg. 31). If one of my good friends were to leave me when i was going through a tough time in my life, i would feel even more terrible. These two topics really meant alot to me and my thought process with them.
