Khalil Gibran

[00:07.60] Do not love half lovers

[00:11.62] Do not entertain half friends

[00:14.88] Do not indulge in works of the half talented

[00:19.89] Do not live half a life and do not die a half death

[00:28.43] If you choose silence, then be silent

[00:34.19] When you speak, do so until you are finished

[00:39.26] Do not silence yourself to say something

[00:43.52] And do not speak to be silent

[00:47.78] If you accept, then express it bluntly

[00:52.54] Do not mask it

[00:55.05] If you refuse then be clear about it

[00:59.31] for an ambiguous refusal

[01:01.57] is but a weak acceptance

[01:04.83] Do not accept half a solution

[01:09.35] Do not believe half truths

[01:12.85] Do not dream half a dream

[01:16.62] Do not fantasize about half hopes

[01:20.88] Half a drink will not quench your thirst

[01:25.13] Half a meal will not satiate your hunger

[01:28.88] Half the way will get you no where

[01:32.90] Half an idea will bear you no results

[01:38.90] Your other half is not the one you love

[01:44.17] It is you in another time yet in the same space

[01:49.69] It is you when you are not

[01:53.69] Half a life is a life you didn't live,

[01:58.71] A word you have not said

[02:02.72] A smile you postponed

[02:05.73] A love you have not had

[02:08.49] A friendship you did not know

[02:11.40] To reach and not arrive

[02:16.18] Work and not work

[02:19.44] Attend only to be absent

[02:22.72] What makes you a stranger to them closest to you

[02:26.78] and they strangers to you

[02:30.80] The half is a mere moment of inability

[02:36.07] but you are able for you are not half a being

[02:42.08] You are a whole that exists

[02:45.12] to live a life not half a life
