Siddhartha: The Child People
The child people are, in Siddhartha's mind, the lowly workers and the rich merchant men for whom they work. They simply choose to enjoy what life has given them and to strive only for personal gain. They value only what they see in front of them, and that is wealth. To them wealth and material possession is their only concern. They care not for the thoughts of a traveler nor for the teachings of a divine one. This is also their weakness. They focus only on possessions and if those possessions are lost, they have nothing. However, if one values yourself and the wisdom of experience, as Siddhartha has, you be a much happier person, for these things cannot be lost.
