Why did Siddharta Gautama leave his life of privilege to wander for years

History

ddd [48]3 years ago
3 0
Siddhartha was shielded from religious teachings or knowledge of human suffering by his father King Suddhodana . Yet, Siddhartha felt that material wealth was not the ultimate goal of life. At the age of 29, Siddhartha left his palace in order to meet his subjects. Despite his father's effort to remove the sick, aged and suffering from the public view, Siddhartha was said to have seen an old man. The prince went on further trips where he encountered, variously, a diseased man, a decaying corpse, and an ascetic. Deeply depressed by these sights, he sought to overcome old age, illness, and death by living the life of an ascetic.

Siddhartha escaped his palace leaving behind this royal life to become a mendicant. This event is traditionally called "The Great Departure".

Manifest Destiny is a belief that first referred to the destiny of the settlers to spread across North America and later beyond. Here Mahan says that in order to do that the government needs to provide supply points for its navy.

Why is it so important that all citizens feel enfranchised in their own country
4vir4ik [10]

Answer: It embodies the concept of the Hallmark of Democracy

Explanation:

Enfranchisement refers to the right of citizens to vote for their own leaders and representatives. This is in line with the Hallmark of Democracy which means that citizens should be able to participate in the running of their own affairs by picking people who represent their interests.

All eligible citizens should have this right to enfranchisement because they have the right to have a say in how they should be governed as this goes in line with the concepts of freedom and liberty which every human should be entitled to.

If citizens do not feel as though they have this right, they will avoid taking part in government which would have the effect of the Government lacking the support of the people and for a Government to function, they need the people.
