Siddhartha

"The world, friend Govinda, is not perfect or on a slow journey toward perfection; no, it is perfect every moment; all sin already bears its forgiveness within itself; every little boy already bears the old man within himself, every infant bears death, every dying man bears eternal life. No one is able to look at someone else and know how far along on his journey he is; in the highwayman and dice player lurks a Buddha, in the Brahman lurks the highwayman." p. 77 Siddhartha

Basically, This quote speaks to me is that according the universe and its other micro and mega objects, time is nothing. Life is part of the cycle it. Everything happens for a reason and there is no way to reverse it because it doesn't happen case it already is. There is no need to worry about how things could be because it probably will be(Being there is no past, present, nor future).Everything seems to come from one source. We westerners think that is totally insane in the membrane because we are so focused on the here and now and soul. Siddhartha had a few western and eastern philosophy in it like the idea to truly understand you have to try it(or something along those lines). But with the "all object are not unique. nOt important..and love everything" Some people belive you can hate anything...
