Siddhartha Week 3: OM

I never thought that Siddhartha would act like a "Samsara." I feel that he should of never had traveled alone and left Govinda because he wasted 20 years of his life having a meaningless relationship and disregarding all of his past teachings. On the other-hand I can see why Siddhartha might of thought that this experience was worth it. I mean he did find out what it means to truly love someone and how empty he will feel without enlightenment and to live a life that relies solely on material possessions. At this point in the story I started to wonder what had become of his ex-best friend, Govinda. I honestly do not know what to think about Kamala's baby. I feel as if even if Siddhartha stayed he wouldn't have the right mind set to raise a child and support a family to his best abilities, due to the fact that his life is empty without his enlightenment. What do you think about the whole pregnant situation Mahekdeep Singh? And what would you do if you were in Siddhartha's shoes because I do not know what I would. I am extremely pissed at Siddhartha's meeting with Govinda. I expected them to apologize to each other and travel together and live happily ever after. But no, the freaking author has to make Govinda not recognize his childhood friend and go on his way after talking to him. I feel really bad for Siddhartha at this point in the story and cannot foreshadow what will happen to him next. What is this OM thing?! I still do not get it. First it's mentioned in the beginning of the story, then it saves Siddharta from killing himself, and now he can hear the voices int he river saying it... What is it!? Haave you figured out what it is yet Mahek? I feel that it was cool that Siddhartha is reunited with her son but it sucks how Kamala had to die. As they say as one life dies another is born, and in this case introduced. I feel bad forSiddhartha butit is kidn of awake up call for him to see how his dad might of felt when he left to joint he Samanas. I think that Siddhartha, as a father, was too much of a pushover but I still like the fact that he loved his son no matter what horrible things he did to him and Vasudeva.
