Prior to reading Flowers for Algernon‚ I agreed with the statement that the smarter a person is‚ the happier he or she is.

Siddhartha took many travelers across the river who had a son or a daughter with them‚ and he could not see any of them without envying them‚ without thinking: So many people possess this very great happiness why not I? Over time‚ Siddhartha became weary. Constantly taking travelers across the river was no longer appealing to him. He reflected on his life and felt something missing.
