May I offer my two cents too?😳

Actually I have not read much of Khalil Gibran except for quotes like this-, everything by him that I have come across is amazing!

This one is like an ultimatum...a forewarning...a verdict.

I can understand the thought reverberating on the reader's mind.

Love's threshing floor- where the chaff would be separated from the wheat...

Only a man or woman who can bear the pain that love offers can go on to enjoy love's peace and pleasure. Pain is inevitable...as not a punishment or a test...but as the ultimate training ground...

One needs to be able to go through that threshing floor to come out fine and polished and beautiful...fear of that threshing floor is nakedness. If one is not able to get over that naked fear, better to cover that nakedness and leave.

Love's threshing floor- it is a sacred ground.

In practical terms, it simply means- if you have loved, you will have the courage. Because the pain you are bearing is for the one you love.

Hello Guys!

Sorry for the late reply...

My presentation is at the end of this month...And just cant find the time to respond to all. Please forgive me...

I hope to do by this week's Sunday

Thank you Rekha. Chick, Nith, Glassdoor for keeping this thread alive and that too with such vibrant discussions...

@Nith...just read a little bit to your query to Rekha regarding the lines by Khalil Ghibran

Will this line help anyways?

Our sweetest thoughts are those that tell of the saddest thought😉

I shall try to put in my own two cents

@JJKL...I do appreciate your username because I prefer to be lost in the semantics of it😆

And I am sure it has a rich history one which could not be pithily described😃
