Siddhartha's take on life is that of a free man. He fully appreciates the cycle that encompasses him. There is no right or wrong, there is just neutral. Everyone is neutral. You see, I find it difficult to explain much else about this way of life because I have been greatly influenced by the western mentality.
Us westerners, are nearly incapable of accepting eastern philosophy because all our lives we have been taught that time is of utmost importance. Age is not just a number. Westerners are caught up on the idea with age comes wisdom. We learn from our mistakes and progress from there. From a western perspective, the eastern idea of life appears to be communist. For us it's almost as if we are stomping and spitting upon the idea of respecting your elders. An infant shall be born equal to his grandfather. What a crock! Most Americans have too much pride to truly comprehend and respect other cultures.
