Siddhartha Blog Assignment #3

Advice Column

Dear Allie,
Hi, my name is Billy. I have a from named Siddhartha who lives in the same area of India as me. Honestly, I am worried about him. He hasn't made very good decisions lately. He decided to become a Samana before realizing what life would be like. He has also been gambling and drinking. He needs some help.

One of Siddhartha's main goals is to reach enlightenment. I believe that if he had some help reaching this goal, he would realize that he could do something good with his life rather than throwing it away.

Sincerely,
Billy


Dear Billy,
Your friend Siddhartha sounds like a very confused and troubled man. I don't think he knows what he should do next. I believe that some reassurance of his actions could go a long way. If he knows what actions are good and what are not he will know what to do in the future. Do what you can to help him with whatever he needs whether it be money or the path to enlightenment. Being a good friend could really help.

Sincerely,
Allie
