Hindu Life Cycle
The Hindu Life Cycle applied to a Friend I choose the four stages of the Hindu life cycle, Caturashrama, to apply to my paper because it closely relates to the life story of my interviewee. Mr. Daniel Garcia came to the United States from Cuba in 1965 at age 26. His migration to the United States cut his educational goal short when he was trying to complete the 1st stage of the life cycle, the student stage. "The most difficult period of my life was when I had to leave everything I knew and loved (Parents) to come to a foreign land to start all over again," explained Garcia. "I felt cheated and helpless. I thought that I would only be in the United States for a short time until things went back to normal in Cuba but I was wrong". I asked Mr. Garcia to tell me what values have changed over the decades. He told me that basically his values have remained the same; " I am a staunch anti-communist and an advocate of human rights. I have never deviated from those values since I left my homeland". When he gave me this answer I thought to myself that he is not living for the future but remains dwelling on the past. I asked him if he had different phases in his life that caused him to feel
I knew at this point that he was talking about the 3rd stage of the Hindu life cycle. A lonely pair of souls if you ask me. After we had concluded the interview, I reflected back on everything that Mr. He replied that in recent years he had become more of a devout Roman Catholic than he use to be. By doing this he succeeded in his career as a carpenter by doubling his efforts to order to achieve a good standard of living for his family. He told me that he has two grandchildren that remind him of his son when he was a small boy. He explained that he attends mass each Sunday and regularly helps out in food drives and fund raising events at the local church. Therefore, the question of how the mysterious issue that has affected his entire life will be resolved is a problem that only Mr. He implied that his life was meaningful because he had raised two children that have succeeded in their careers as well as in their own unique lives. He feels that moving out to an area that life is slower paced does good for him and his wife's health. Specifically, his life when he was a young adult in Cuba.
