On Love

The first chapter of The Prophet goes in depth about a topic that many people only dream about. Being in love always seems like it is impossible to obtain. Being in love you hear about in fairy tales and to me it seems like it is far into the future. The part in the first section where it reads "But if in your fear you would seek only loves peace and loves pleasure, then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and pass out of loves threshing-floor" I believe is what a lot of society today believes being in love is really about. All the sappiness and mushy gushy is what I think love is truly about, but I think that there is hardships that until you are fortunate to be "in love" you really wont know the lowest lows that come from love.

I think that this chapter is a nice way to end east meets west. This seems like a guideline to life in 60 pages, which you don't really see very often, because most people are scared to touch on the topics where people get emotional.
