Siddartha Blog Assignment #3 - Advice For Siddartha.

Dear Ann Smith,
My dearest friend Siddhartha is having trouble. He wants to reach enlightenment but keeps getting lost and very frustrated. He has tried many things but he can't reach enlightenment. On the way to where he is now he has lost many friends, including Govinda. Siddhartha had to take a different path to enlightenment because the one Govinda was taking wasn't working for Siddhartha. He is real lost without his friend Govinda and misses him a ton.

Not only does Siddhartha not even have Govinda anymore but he doesn't have his dad. He left his dad when he decided to join the Semanas to find enlightenment. His dad didn't want him to leave but he still did. At the time Siddhartha was determined to find enlightenment. Right now Siddhartha feels very lonely and doesn't know what to do. He can't find enlightenment and he doesn't have anyone to turn to now. Ann what can Siddhartha do?
Thanks,
Chalolo

Dear Chalolo,
It seems that Siddhartha is having many troubles at once and is in a dump. Everyone has points in their life when they feel like they have nothing, obviously this is Siddhartha's time. But everyone also makes it out of that dump and figures everything out. Give it time and Siddhartha will figure out what to do. I think he should first think of what his priority's are first and figure out if he wants to go find his friend and his dad or go find another path to enlightenment. It seems to me that enlightenment is his priority. If anything that you do for Siddhartha, make sure that he doesn't give up on finding enlightenment. It might be a rough path to get there but he can, and he will. He just needs to find new hope and push himself to believe that he can find enlightenment it will just take time. I am sorry about your friends hard time.
Sincerely,
Ann Smith
