The Madman · My Thought
Kahlil Gibran
The Madman challenges the compartmentalized thinking of religious and social identities. In the early 20th century, when national and religious divisions often dictated one's fate, Gibran advocates for a universal perspective. By envisioning all as beggars before life, he dismantles societal hierarchies, suggesting that true wealth lies in the shared human experience. This was a radical stance in an era of entrenched inequalities.
