I have a bookworm friend who reads about 200 books a year, and every time we chat, he recommends a book that he has read and is very good, and one of them is a book that he recommended several times but I have not read, "Siddhartha" by Hermann Hesse.
Seeing that he was so enthusiastic about recommending, I didn't read it and was a little embarrassed, so I found this Douban with a score of 9The 3-point "Siddhartha" was read.
Unexpectedly, this book was like a lightning bolt that instantly lit up my inner world. I was amazed that I had read it so late, because it had shocked me so much.
This "Siddhartha" tells the story of the protagonist Siddhartha, from a young man who is full of curiosity and longing for the world, through all kinds of hardships and confusion, and finally towards inner peace. His journey was not all smooth sailing, he was lost and he was in pain, but it was these experiences that made him understand the true meaning of life.
In the process of reading this book, I seemed to see my own shadow. Like Siddhartha, I was curious about the world and eager to explore the unknown and achieve my dreams.
But I also encountered frustration and confusion, and sometimes even felt very lost and helpless. Siddhartha, however, told me that these setbacks and confusions were also part of my life and a necessary path for me to grow up.
There is a sentence in the book that touched me deeply:"Wisdom cannot be spoken. When a wise man tries to impart wisdom, it is always like a fool's dream. ”
This made me realize that true wisdom does not come from books or other people's experiences, but needs to be experienced and perceived by myself. Only by experiencing the ups and downs of life can I truly understand the meaning and value of life.
Siddhartha's story also taught me a truth:There is no such thing as an end in life, only a continuous beginning. In other words, each of us is constantly growing, and every moment is a new beginning. No matter what we have experienced in the past, we should not be bound by the past, but bravely face the present and the future.
After reading Siddhartha, I felt extremely calm and fulfilled inside. It not only gave me a deeper understanding of life, but also a clearer understanding of myself. I have begun to cherish every moment in front of me, and I am no longer anxious about the regrets of the past and the uncertainty of the future.
I know that as long as I am brave enough to pursue my dreams and firmly follow my own path, I will be able to find my own path to happiness.
The book also taught me how to deal with life's frustrations and confusions, and how to pursue inner peace and wisdom. I am sure everyone who has read this book will benefit greatly from it.
If you haven't already, I highly recommend you read it, it will most likely be a beacon in your life and illuminate your path forward.
Of course, Siddhartha is not a light book, it requires you to think and feel. It is precisely because of its depth and connotation that it has become a classic that can stand up to repeated reading and taste. Every time I open this book, I read it and keep it new.
Finally, I would like to say that I would like to thank Hermann Hesse for creating such a great work that has given me a sense of enlightenment.
I hope that everyone who has read this article can find this book to read and find their own strength and direction from it.
