In the book Siddhartha, siddhartha must leave his freind govinda to fullfill his destiny and complete his liife journey. He tells govinda that he must follow his own path through life and cant learn any more from the Budha. This was hard for siddhartha because he was best friends with govinda since his childhood. When siddhartha decided to leave and go with the Samanas he asked govinda to come with him and he did. This strenghthened their friendship even more, so it was very hard for siddhatha to leave his friend behind.
In my life I can relate to siddhartha and him leaving govinda. Before i lived in Edina i lived in St. Clound and my best friend lived four houses down my street. We would hang out every day, went to the same school and were always on the same sports teams so we were always together. Then when i found out that we were moving i was very sad. Going from seeing him and doing things with every day to never seeing him again was hard but it was what i had to do, just like siddhartha had too.
