Sometimes I feel like punching Hermann Hesse (or maybe having a nice talk with him over tea) because Siddhartha is fraught with so many contradictions. He posits that all our sufferings are anchored in time and once we grasp the notion of timelessness we shall be free from all our anxieties. But if the notion of timelessness encompasses that every moment in the past and future exists independent of time and everything is intermingled in the current moment then we can truly never let go of our suffering and be free of it if it exists independent of time because we cannot discard what exists in the void of timelessness and.. It'll exist in every moment of the preset lawl. And if it is through Siddhartha suffering from his son's departure that serves as a humanizing force that catalyzed his revelations why would one then desire to relinquish suffering if it is such an essential part of the human condition and acceptance of it is required in order to reach enlightenment anyway?

I am displeased I like The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn much better.

Also here is a nice quote. "There will be a day when you ask me what's more important, my life or yours. I will say mine and you will turn around and walk away, not knowing that you are my life."

That is all.
