inward journey

Siddhartha has the unearthly ability to allow one to rethink their own aspirations and desires and yet at the same time this novel, this work of literary art was only created through one man's journey to enlightnment, or at least the realization of himself, so essentially is it one man's method of telling the mass audience to believe in theirselves and strive to begin their own journey. Some individuals hold Siddhartha too closely to their hearts, its merely a novel telling you to go out and live.
