In The Alchemist Santiago seems a bit more wiser and understands more about himself and can feel more comfortable and trusty of his personal legend. This is what makes sense to me because it recognizes the struggles of everyday life that people have to deal with or the hardest things we have to do in order to reach our goals in life. In the prologue it speaks about how people feel that maybe it's something that is something we should give up on no matter how much we have tried, suffered, and desired. We give up and surrender all we have sown into the world. The book makes me think about the struggles and how maybe goals are sometimes a bit selfish because maybe we don't think about others or get obssessed with our own selves. Being obssessed means being caught up with our own; of what we want. The same as greed? Or the hope of a desire that seems everlasting? To try or not to try? To give up or to not give up? Whatever choices pave the way; it is your life of whether you wish for a success or a failure.
