The Prophet Gibran Kahlil. Chapter 19 On Friendship

Chapter 19
On Friendship

AND a youth said, Speak to us of Friendship. And he answered, saying: Your friend is your needs answered. He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving. And he is your board and your fireside. For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace. When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the “nay” in your own mind, nor do you with hold the “aye.” And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with . when you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

Seek him always with hours to live. For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.

And in the let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

Connecting the DOTS

Different Opinions To Success Every-thing is relative to everything else Reading to understand the meaning behind any word that ever been written, requires a big deal of concentration, and literally some mind flexibility to get into the author's state of mind at the time and place of his/her thinking process. Ever wonder; for a moment; how every word is inter connected with the next or the previous one. Making sense out of the whole, requires connecting every word to the meaning of the rest. every-thing is relative to everything else, meaning, everything, without exception. Thinking in terms of time; only one thing comes to mind, that time is just an illusion. The measure of understanding required for achieving the goal is almost the same as reaching it; without being aware of the time needed to accomplish it (the goal) Keeping this idea in mind, one can imagine a variety of scenarios where the relativity factor always plays the mai...
