The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran explores the depths of life and human experience. In this poetic narrative, Almustafa, the central figure, imparts wisdom on universal themes before departing his island home. He delves into love, stating it's both a gift and a binding force, elevating our joys and dividing our sorrows. He addresses work, emphasizing that it's an extension of love made visible, a way to express and fulfill oneself. On joy and sorrow, he reveals their inseparable nature, with one giving shape to the other. Gibran's views on marriage challenge conventions, advocating for individuality within the union. Children, he says, are life's longing for itself, suggesting parents are guides, not owners. His insights on giving underscore the joy found in selfless acts. This book, more than just words, is a philosophical guide, urging us to find deeper meaning in our everyday lives.
