The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
5.0
4.5/5
Poetry is a profound method of writing and expressing, unquestionably. With this statement, we need to accept it, too, that not everyone can play around with words and call it poetry when only a few have achieved the benchmark of writing to be known as poetic.
Khalil Gibran, for me, is one of them who splendidly presented the actual meaning of poetry and its intensity one can feel. His writing style is elegant and splendid to the level of getting goosebumps. Exceptional poetry is done by him as I can see myself in the mirror he made through his written words. He made me speechless, and I am glad he did so because I needed to find solitude for myself, and he helped me with it vividly.
Some of the cherishing points I could extract from the book:
1. Sorrow is the pathway that helps you reach peace.
2. Love has to be fulfilled.
3. The house you are supposed to fascinate resides within.
4. The real fight is between me vs. myself.
5. Sometimes, your reasoning can create harm when you are supposed to accept the happening.
6. You have to allow pain to break your heart: a reason for you to bloom.
7. Cherish every emotional phase you find yourself part of.
8. Earn your silence as you ought to seek with yourself and selflessness primarily.
9. A cast of judgment cannot be attempted by knowing only a side.
10. The major hurdle between you and yourself is I.
11. Your heart will signify you about the good deeds you perform.
12. Ambiguity is the way to clear things up.
