Veil and clay

I recently finished reading "The Prophet" by Kahlil Gibran, and I think it is one of the most beautiful pieces of literature that I've ever read! I really wish I can memorise the whole book or something.

Anyway, I just want to share you probably my favourite passage in the book. It's from the last chapter:

"The veil that clouds your eyes shall be lifted by the hands that wove it.

The clay that fills your ears shall be pierced by the fingers that kneaded it.

And you shall see.

And you shall hear.

Yet you shall not deplore having known blindness, nor regret being deaf.

For in that day you shall know the hidden purpose in all things.

And you shall bless darkness as you would bless light."

This is so so beautiful. I will remember these words forever.

Necessity

"We seem to seek comfort in making our lives difficult and complicated.

We make ouselves believe that unhappiness is a necessity in our daily life.

When at the end of the day, you'll realise that no unhappiness is ever necessary."

Rich and poor

Just a short post today, something mind-blowing I learned from someone new I met today.

"Orang kaya adalah orang yang miskin atas keinginan, 

orang miskin adalah orang yang kaya atas keinginan"

Which translates to:

"Rich people are people who are poor of desires,

poor people are people who are rich of desires."
