One other part about women excerpt from The Broken Wings by Kahlil Gibran.
I think it’s powerful and the meaning was so deep.
What do you think?
Oh, Lord, what has a woman done that hath offended Thee?
What sin has she committed to deserve such a punishment?
For what crime has she been awarded everlasting castigation?
Oh, Lord, Thou art strong, and I am weak.
Why hast Thou made me suffer pain?
Thou art great and almighty, while I am nothing but a
tiny creäture crawling before Thy throne.
Why hast Thou crushed me with Thy foot?
Thou art a raging tempest, and I am like dust; why, my Lord,
hast Thou flung me on the cold earth?
Thou art powerful, and I am helpless;
why art Thou fighting me?
Thou art considerate, and I am prudent;
why art Thou destroying me?
Thou hast created woman with love, and why,
with love dost Thou ruin her?
With Thy right hand dost Thou lift her, and with Thy
left hand dost Thou strike her into the abyss,
and she knows not why.
In her mouth Thou blowest the breath of life,
and in her heart Thou sowest the seeds of death.
Thou dost show her the path of happiness,
but Thou leadest her in the road of misery;
in her mouth Thou dost place a song of happiness,
but then Thou dost close her lips with sorrow and dost
fetter her tongue with agony.
With Thy mysterious fingers dost Thou dress her wounds,
and with Thine hands Thou drawest the dread of pain
round her pleasures.
In her bed Thou hidest pleasure and peace,
but besides it Thou dost erect obstacles and fear.
Thou dost excite her affection through Thy will,
and from her affection does shame emanate.
By Thy will Thou showest her the beauty of creation,
but her love for beauty becomes a terrible famine.
Thou dost make her drink life in the cup of death,
and death in the cup of life.
Thou purifiest her with tears, and in tears her life streams away.
Oh, Lord, Thou hast opened my eyes with love,
and with love Thou hast blinded me.
