Dmitriev, Dima. Two Paths. 2013. Web. 7 October 2014

In this picture there is a girl standing at a fork in her path where she must now pick where to continue her journey. This is similar to Siddhartha's life because he has picked many different lifestyle choices throughout the book. Not to mention, the picture shows that both paths are almost identical. Neither of the paths seem more harmful or helpful than the other. In Siddhartha's case, each path he took weren't necessarily bad choices. When he did made a particular decision on how to live his life, there was a reasoning for it. In the end, Siddhartha looks back at the things he has done and does not regret them but moreover sees them as parts of his journey. Without being a Samana, a Merchant, a Love Maker and a Ferryman, he would not have reached the Enlightenment that he looked for. Every path or decision you take is not a bad one, it is merely a part of living and a part of what makes you who you are. Another lesson to take from this is that it doesn't matter which path you take but the choices you make going there do.
