Khalil Gibran "The Prophet"

MARRİAGE

Then Almitra spoke again and said, "And what of Marriage, master?"

And he answered saying:

You were born together, and together you shall be forevermore.

You shall be together when white wings of death scatter your days.

Aye, you shall be together even in the silent memory of God.

But let there be spaces in your togetherness,

And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.

Love one another but make not a bond of love:

Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.

Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.

Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,

Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.

For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.

And stand together, yet not too near together:

For the pillars of the temple stand apart,

And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other's shadow.

When the whiteness of my canvas cried out for color, no face was worthy of my brush but that of Kalil Gibran.

Khalil Girbran encourage hes people to stop leaving under oppression. Hes quotas were mentioned and copy by President Kennedy, Nelson Mandela and Mother Theresa. to mention a few. He was born in Lebanon as Lebanese citizen, and die as citizen of the world. Hes ways of seem the world is what we missing today.

Beyond religious books, that tell you what men (and only ever men interestingly) thought centuries ago, do you have any new thoughts, insights or perceptions of your own

Religion teaches you to follow but does it teach you to be original, create, think new thoughts, act in new ways from new evidence

Or do you just quote what has been written and said by unknown men centuries before as your justification for life choices

Gibran makes me think more than any religious book, he humanises me.
