      "The Prophet" and His Prophecies

      By Adi Andreeva

      · philosophy,old wisdom,food for thought

      1. Do not love half lovers

      Do not entertain half friends

      Do not indulge in works of the half talented

      Do not live half a life

      and do not die a half death

      If you choose silence, then be silent

      When you speak, do so until you are finished

      Do not silence yourself to say something

      And do not speak to be silent

      If you accept, then express it bluntly

      Do not mask it

      If you refuse then be clear about it

      for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance

      Do not accept half a solution

      Do not believe half truths

      Do not dream half a dream

      Do not fantasize about half hopes

      Half a drink will not quench your thirst

      Half a meal will not satiate your hunger

      Half the way will get you no where

      Half an idea will bear you no results

      Your other half is not the one you love

      It is you in another time yet in the same space

      It is you when you are not

      Half a life is a life you didn't live,

      A word you have not said

      A smile you postponed

      A love you have not had

      A friendship you did not know

      To reach and not arrive

      Work and not work

      Attend only to be absent

      What makes you a stranger to them closest to you

      and they strangers to you

      The half is a mere moment of inability

      but you are able for you are not half a being

      You are a whole that exists to live a life

      not half a life.

      – Khalil Gibran

      Gibran Khalil Gibran:

      usually referred to in English as Kahlil Gibran

      was a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, also considered a philosopher although he himself rejected the title. He is best known as the author of "The Prophet", which was first published in the United States in 1923 and has since become one of the best-selling books of all time, having been translated into more than 100 languages.

      Poet, artist, mystic and author of one of the most widely read books of the 20th century, Khalil Gibran (1883–1931) has become a legend of our time. Followers around the world find inspiration in his unsurpassed ability to express eternal truths through his exquisite poetry and unite East and West in a poetic realm of love, faith and natural beauty.

      You can now dive into the wisdom and some of his beautiful and insightful thoughts…

      2. You can't get to the dawn any other way than by walking the way of the night.

      3. The deeper the sorrow digs into your soul, the more joy your soul can hold.

      4. We are all prisoners, but some cells have windows and some do not.

      5. The most wretched of men is he who turns his dreams into silver and gold.

      6. To reveal the truth, it takes two - one to speak it and another to understand it.

      7. When you have your back to the sun, you see nothing but your shadow.

      8. Love that does not rejoice incessantly dies by degrees.

      9. To work is to express your love. And if you cannot work with love, but feel insurmountable hatred, then it is better to immediately leave your work and go to the temple, where you can ask alms from those who work with love.

      10. You owe more than gold to the one who serves you. Give him your heart, or serve him in turn.

      11. Many teachings are like window panes. We see the truth through it, but it also separates us from it.

      12. How can you sing if your mouth is full of food? How will your hand be lifted up in blessing if it is full of gold?

      13. Men who do not forgive women their small transgressions will never enjoy their great virtues.

      14. Love and doubt never talk to each other.

      15. Generosity is not giving me what I need more than you, but what you need more than I do.

      16. How blind is he who gives you something from his pocket so that he can take something from your heart!

      17. It is strange that we all defend the wrong in our country more zealously than the right.

      18. The obvious is what eludes us until someone puts it simply.

      19. When you reach the limit of what you need to know, you will be at the beginning of what you need to feel.

      20. We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

      21. Tortoises can tell more about roads than rabbits.
