section #1 siddhartha

connections:

• In the text it mentions that Siddhartha´s parents had very high hopes of him , they where very proud of him and I can relate that to now a days when people have very high expectations for their children and are always very proud , many times you can see a type of competition between parents to prove whoose child was the best. 
• Sometimes when people expect a lot from you you try so hard to make them happy so you forget about your own happiness which is the most important.  
• Sometimes when you feel something is missing you start thinking about many things , about your future , about your surroundings, etc. Well at least it happens to me , that I get elevated thinking about my life and end up finding more problems than I thought I actually had.
• when Siddhartha asks his father for permission to become a samana and his father denies it , Siddhartha proves himself by standing all through the night completely still. sometimes when they don't give me permission I try to prove my point in different subtle ways.
