This book is like a wise man chatting with you, exploring the true meaning of life such as love, marriage, and freedom. Gibran's writing is beautiful and full of philosophy, which reminds me of my own married life. In marriage, we also experience pain and loneliness, but because of this, when happiness comes, it feels especially precious. As the book says, "I can't leave without burden and pain," but we still have to move forward bravely and pursue our own happiness. This book made me think more deeply about life and is worth reading.
Not everyone can understand the guidance of the prophet, because people are narrow-minded and backward. The wisdom and loneliness of the prophet are eternal. We are behind the times. After all, we can only understand one-sided thoughts and pay attention to the life in front of us. You say beauty and ugliness, beauty without clothes becomes ugliness, and ugliness with clothes becomes beauty. It does not lie in beauty or ugliness, but in people's feelings, herd mentality, the pursuit of universal similarity, and not being rejected by others.
I came across this novel by the author Da Da by accident. I read it with the mentality of giving it a try at the beginning, but I didn't expect that I couldn't help myself.
Profound philosophy and a beacon of wisdom.
