    Khalil had a muse named Selma he spoke about in one of his poems... maybe that's how she got her name. She is such a passionate person!

    "it connects us to our humanity and we've lost the value of life a little bit...there is goodness inside every single one of us, and it lies in our humanity." that is the key to your wisdom her recognition that our goodness is found within our humanity.

    The prophet is one of the greatest works of literature ever written and the author was one of the greatest of men to ever live even though he was as Christian as I detest abrahamic religions especially christianity as I am mostly Germanic. I pray for the day places like Syria and Palestine and Iran and Iraq and others feel the same about islam, Israel and Saudi Arabia can rot for all I care. Free Palestine!!! God and goddess bless Ahed Tamimi and Jana Jihad.
    Damn Selma is beautiful.
    I send you all my love and respect and prayers in the name of our father god and our mother the great Goddess what ever you call them except calling them only one. HH.

      @@ZareefPusha it is so hilarious that people who are secure in their own expertise and wisdom will speak and if they are talking down to somebody or set when in fact in instances like this it's the complete opposite because I understand exactly what Khalil Gibran was saying. And his message had nothing to do with any of the abrahamic religions it all. They had to do with all religions and God in spirit I don't see anything in my response that gives you even an inch of room to criticize did the rest of it is just sending my love to Salma Hayek and such. If you are a disagreeing with me about my interpretation of Kahlil Gibran words then let me remind you that these are all just personal attitudes and judgments for one but at the very same time I am sure the way I interpreted is far more valid than the way you do since that was your response. I think you need to go read it again bud. The wisdom of Kahlil Gibran is his Timeless and his greatest any of the most famous prophets of any religion that goes for Muhammad Jesus Christ knowing any of them. And if it's the fact that he was a Christian that you're disagreeing with me about I think you need to check your facts cuz he was nominally a Christian in fact you was excommunicated because his writings going to a lot of things that are similar to Rosicrucianism and the Knights Templar beliefs and Masonry. He honors the feminine principle in the goddess and wisdom at least as many times as he does the male principle or God so before you open your mouth and make yourself look like a fool I suggest you do a little research first

      @@ZareefPusha oh and I know that your problem with my comment has more to do with the fact that I am derogatory of Christianity and Islam did anything else as Khalil Gibran mostly talks about peaceful things. But he does also speak about how a warrior is supposed to be aware just as Krishna tells Arjuna in the Bhagavad Gita. And from my point of view the most evil things in the entire world are Islam and Christianity because they are the only two belief systems that say they're the only valid one and that everyone else is going to hell if they don't convert and is perfectly willing to execute anyone who won't convert to help them on their Journey there. They're the only religion and this is specially for Christianity that believe in the scapegoat Boogeyman tooth fairy known as the devil that they somehow equate with God! Fucking idiots to say the least. Far as I go I followed my own ancestral path even though I am an expert in comparative religion and mythology. I understood what you were saying so no offense taken and I hope you don't take any God bless you
