Post #5: Response to Siddhartha Complete Novel

1.  Explain whether you agree or disagree with Siddhartha's statement from the chapter titled "Govinda":
   “But I think it is only important to love the world, not to despise it, not for us to hate each other, but to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love, admiration, and respect.”

I agree with Siddartha i think it is important to love the world, not despise it, not for us to hate each other but, to be able to regard the world and ourselves and all beings with love admiration, and respect. I also feel, doing this now in present  day is a lot easier said than done. People are so judgmental now a days that the judgmental people have a name in society; their called bullies. The people who are getting bullied hate the world and despise it wanting to leave it sooner than needed. This leads to suicide more than likely it was a teenage girl who tried to commit or committed suicide. I say a girl because they're more emotional, this society you have to be just like everyone else to fit in, and the internet doesn't really help. If, everyone loved instead of hating and judging than, the world would be a more peaceful, happy, and people would want to stay on earth and live as long as they could. In Siddhartha he wanted to reach enligtenment, which he thought would get rid of his self to reach bliss, which is just like a person committing suicide to get away from everything and thinking they will have eternal bliss after they've committed
Stop bullying
