LET ME TELL YOU HOW MUCH I LAUGHED

When Richie was giving his Siddhartha speech to the crew before friends and family night, I laughed so much

Carmy's expressions just took me out!

You know when you're in a meeting or awkward situation listening to someone say stuff that's just wrong or off?

Just soooo off ?

But they're wrong and strong and you know if you look at your friend you'll fall out?

So you just stare ahead or anything not to laugh?

This is it. Although I dunno if Carmy wanted to laugh.

I think he may have been thinking WTF????!!!

But I laughed.

Oh I laughed!

Siddhartha (1972)

[dk-thrive]

the feeling that real life might just be inside us

My mother’s face as she stood in our small kitchen, her dumbfounded surprise that I wanted to go to college in the first place, that I wanted a completely different life from hers and my father’s. But that wasn’t really it. What I wanted more than that was what happened inside me when I read books like Siddhartha, the feeling that real life might just be inside us, not out there on our patchy lawns or in our cars or offices or job sites or malls or bars or dead-end streets or city sidewalks, but inside us, where the dreams of others merged with our own so that we were all bigger than before and no one was just one. There was no other anywhere.

— Andre Dubus III, Such Kindness: A Novel (W.W. Norton, June 6, 2023)

“Searching means: having a goal. But finding means: being free, being open, having no goal.”

— Hermann Hesse, “Siddhartha”

Y ahora si como dijo en buen Siddharta: “Luego nos volvimos extraños, es el precio de ser humanos”

“It was beautiful and delightful to go through the world like this, so childlike, so awake, so open to what was near, so without distrust.”

— Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha

"There still remains much to learn. We are not going in circles, we are going upwards. The path is a spiral; we have already climbed many steps."

Symbolisms in the world of fairy tales: the forest

Forests have often been the basis of a fairy tale. And we've already said that the forest is not just the forest. In all fairy tales ,and strangely enough in almost all the world, the forest represents the same thing, life.

Take Little Red Riding Hood, it's the reason why she has to go through the forest to get to her grandmother and meets the wolf.

It's the reason why in almost every story children get lost in the forest. Thumbelina gets lost in the forest, Hansel and Gretel get lost in the forest, Snow White gets lost in the forest, Rapunzel is hidden in the forest. Sleeping Beauty in Basile's version is asleep in the woods.

it's always the forest. This is because, once upon a time, when we were not yet very "civilized", one thing that was really done was tests to pass. In tribal times, we sent our children into the forest with a task: you get a bow and arrow and you have to come back, for example, with a wild boar. (or at least a dead animal). You had to go hunting. And if you come back with a dead animal, they would say "Enough , you have grown". Like the Spartans, for example. Over time this has evolved, and has become more and more symbolic. Little by little it transformed into something, first symbolic, then, even, into a story. The story of when, once upon a time, children had to face the forest alone. To prepare them for life with these stories.

One of the most beautiful examples is this buddist tale. The Siddharta (Buddah) was this child who lived completely peacefully in this family ,so wealthy and so powerful, that it allowed him to keep the world hidden from him. He spends his whole life without ever seeing reality.Everyone inside the building is not allowed to grow old,and if they get old,they are fired.Everyone was not allowed to have disabilities,otherwise they are thrown out. If you lose an eye you are canceled,you can no longer work there. If you have a cut you cannot show up at work, and you cannot cut yourself at work! The blood must never be shown to the child,and neither should violence. And so the child grows up seeing people all young (or at least adults)all beautiful all good all good, and he never sees anything wrong. everything is rich everyone is well off. One day ,while he is being taken inside a carriage from point A to point B, halfway ther's a problem with the carriage.He has the opportunity to peek out the window ,and sees the people outside. the people are made up of old people, beggars, the starving, the sick.

And he had never seen this before... and was shocked. After his encounter with suffering, Siddhartha left his palace and his family at night, and shed his noble clothes to dress poorly.

This is just the beginning of the WHOLE Siddharta's story, hope I explained it well so far♡

“Wisdom cannot be imparted. Wisdom that a wise man attempts to impart always sounds like foolishness to someone else ... Knowledge can be communicated, but not wisdom. One can find it, live it, do wonders through it, but one cannot communicate and teach it.” ― Hermann Hesse, Siddhartha
