Wanted to make a profile picture for my goodreads account. Inspired by the name of the account “reading rainboy” which was inspired by the show reading rainbow, really should’ve put a butterfly in this. Might update it to have one.

Love this book. Read this book. It’s great and you’ll feel great reading it. It’s the story of Siddhartha, a training monk. He gets to a point where he says I don’t want to be taught anything I want to experience it so he goes out and lives his life like a normal person would. Dealing with the good and bad aspects of life and his reactions to it. The book ends in a way that beautifully encapuslates the sense that everything in life has a purpose.

You can’t get enlightenment from teaching or experience you can only get it from understanding.
