Poet -- Kahlil Gibran / Responsibility Of The Individual
[ send me this essay ]
A 12 page paper discussing the life and some of the recurrent themes of 'The Prophet.' Kahlil Gibran admonishes us to always perform at the best levels we are capable of attaining, and everything we do, to do in love. He tells us that each of us is responsible not only for ourselves, but for each other as well, owing love not only to others, but also to our work. According to Gibran, material things are no good measure of anything but themselves, and certainly are no measure of the worth of an individual. What does provide measure is the degree of love in which we can live, and in the number of avenues that we can find and use that love. He provides us with arenas we may never have considered, such as work and teaching, but arenas that are no less important simply because of our inability to see them without Gibran's help. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
