Kahlil Gibran
6 key ideas, each explained in our own words.
The Prophet
- IDEA 1
Children are their own
Gibran writes that children come through parents but do not belong to them. Give them love, not your thoughts; they are arrows sent forward into a future you cannot visit.
- IDEA 2
Love with space between
In a good marriage, Gibran says, stand together but not too close, like the pillars of a temple. Closeness needs room for each person to grow.
- IDEA 3
Work is love made visible
Work done with care is a way of expressing love for others. Even ordinary tasks become meaningful when they are done wholeheartedly.
