This book is simply amazing. {THE PROPHET – BY KAHLIL GIBRAN}I always carry it around in my laptop bag and when I feel like, I just pick it up and read from the page that opens.And whatever that I find on the page is something that is important to me for that day.Look what I found today:And a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship.And he answered, saying:YOUR FRIEND IS YOUR NEEDS ANSWERED.
HE IS your field with which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.and he is your board and your fireside.for you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.when your friend speaks his mind you fear not the ‘nay’ in your own mind, nor do you withhold the ‘ay’.And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;for without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.when you part from your friend, you grieve not;for that which you love the most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of spirit.for love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.and let your best be for your friend. If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also. For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.and in the sweetness of friendship, let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.for in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.*this book is truly incredible and one must and should own one.
