Siddhartha Blog Assignment #2

Part 1
Text Messages between Govinda and Billy

Govinda- Billy, Siddhartha has left me.

Billy- Im sorry to hear this, what happened?

Govinda- We were listening to the Buddha's teachings; I pledged my alliance to the Buddha but Siddhartha did not, he said I have finally chosen my own path.

Billy- Sometimes it's good to make our own decisions and follow what ou believe in rather than just copying a friend.

Govinda- Your right, it's time I made my own decisions. Thanks Billy.

Part 2
Govinda

I think Govinda is really hurt by Siddhartha's decision to leave him. They had been friends for a long time and I don't think Govinda was ready to let go of their connection. Siddhartha's main goal is to find himself and I don't think he was ready to do that with Govinda at his side. Govinda needs to stay with the Buddha and learn his teachings. They both needed to choose their own paths.
