Siddhartha loved his son so much that he wanted to "keep him from suffering, pain, and disappointment." In the process Siddhartha makes himself and his son miserable. Why wasn't this working?
This is like deja vu because the way Siddhartha is acting now as father to his son is the same as what his father was trying to do for him, which was try to get him to say home. Just as they say, "Like father like son", young Siddhartha decided to run away like his father did. Siddhartha make himself miserable because he now knows what it feels like to love someone who doesn't want to be loved; He makes his son miserable by trying to force all of his wisdom upon him when he really doesn't want to be with him anyway.
Siddhartha loving his son so much wasn't working because Siddhartha was trying to prevent his son from things he can't. Disappointment, pain, and suffering is what some people will go through if they choose to go through it like Siddhartha did himself. Siddhartha could have had a better life from the beginning but chose to wonder on his own just like his son chose to runaway. Like Ciara said above this is just what Siddhartha did to his dad. Although Siddhartha's father may have wanted to keep Siddhartha from enduring disappointment, pain, and suffering he realized he couldn't and let Siddhartha find his own life in which Siddhartha needs to do for his son.
This wasnt working cause Siddhartha wasnt letting his son find himself.What is going on right now is just a repeat of Siddhartha when he was young.Siddhartha has to think what ever his son do he choose it & dont have nobody to blame but himself.Maybe there god is show Siddharta how his father felt when you love somebody that dont love you back.This is why you should always treat people how you want to be treated.If Siddhartha would have treated his father right & did what he said Siddhartha would never had his son.
In the section om of Siddhartha, Siddhartha makes himself and his son both miserable by trying to "keep him from suffering, pain, and disappointment." While taking people across the river on the boat, he noticed how there were other variety of lifestyles whom got along with their children, "So many people, so many thousands, possess this sweetest happiness-why not I? Even wicked people, even thieves and highwaymen, have children and love them, and are loved by them, only I do not," but never thought about the fact that they've been together all of their lives. Siddhartha made things worse on he and his son because he was trying to pressure him nito a lifestyle he was not use to and not willing to surrender himself to, similar to making a child eat a food that he does not like; No matter how hard you try to make them like a food you want them to like or eat, they're still not going to like it in the end. This was the concept that Siddhartha didn't understand, and at the same time didn't notice who he was becoming, until looking upon the river with Vasudeva. "He discovered what it was: that face resembled another that he had once known and loved and feared. It resembled the face of his father, the Brahman......Was it not a comedy, a strange and stupid thing, this repetition, this running around in a disatrous circle?" Siddhartha started to realize that this was the same karma that he once was the beneficiary of, and in doing so hurt his father the same way that his son is crushing his soul now. Once again, the river laughed at him at the spite of his recalling, and discovery like it to be a never ending maze, reliving the things and going back to the starting point over and over again.
The story of Siddhartha is about one man and his journey to find eternal happiness and the struggles he endures to reach it. This is a good book for people of all ages and also gives valueble information about religion.
