Another great chapter about reason and passion in conflict to making peace with em, nay, loving them.
Lean towards passion and you burn yourself off any excitement and if reason, paralysis analysis.
let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing
let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above own ashes.

FREEDOM: luffy ahh chapter
TLDR; Don't mistake freedom for merely removing whatever currently restrains you. True freedom is an inward condition in which you are no longer dominated by your fears, desires, burdens, identities, or even your obsession with being free.
You can become free from one chain only to discover that your new freedom is another chain.

Some of my favourite lines are:

Law that protects people
and Law that attempts to manufacture people.
[8/24, 4:19 PM] $: "And what is it to acknowledge the laws but to stoop down and trace their shadows upon the earth?"
[8/24, 4:19 PM] $: "But you who walk facing the sun, what images drawn on the earth can hold you?"
[8/24, 4:22 PM] $: "You who travel with the wind, what weather vane shall direct your course?"

Buying and selling TLDR
Equivalent exchange + no exploitation + value generation

Clothes turned out to be much more, would make you wanna become a nudist lmao:
- And though you seek in garments the freedom of privacy you may find in them a harness and a chain.
- Some of you say, "It is the north wind who has woven the clothes we wear."
And I say, Aye, it was the north wind,
But shame was his loom, and the softening of the sinews was his thread.

Houses; one of the harder chapters to read.
Took me a while cause I did want to soak up each line. Here are some of my favorites:
Tell me, have you these in your houses?
Or have you only comfort, and the lust for comfort, that stealthy thing that enters the house a guest, and then becomes a host, and then a master?
Ay, and it becomes a tamer, and with hook and scourge makes puppets of your larger desires.

So cool wtf

Work has to be one of my favourite chapters so far:

You work that you may keep pace with the earth and the soul of the earth.

When you work you are a flute through whose heart the whispering of the hours turns to music.
Which of you would be a reed, dumb and silent, when all else sings together in unison?

And all knowledge is vain save when there is work.

Work is love made visible.

And let your board stand an altar on which the pure and the innocent of forest and plain are sacrificed for that which is purer and still more innocent in man.
For the law that delivered you into my hand shall deliver me into a mightier hand.
I too am a vineyard, and my fruit shall be gathered for the winepress,
And like new wine I shall be kept in eternal vessels

Into the seasonless world you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears:love
Gibran's enticing & synergistic definition of love, marriage & nurture:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls
Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music
And stand together yet not too near together, For the pillars of the temple stand apart.

Love

Let not the waves of the sea separate us now, and the years you have spent in our midst become a memory.
You have walked among us a spirit, and your shadow has been a light upon our faces.
Much have we loved you. But speechless was our love, and with veils has it been veiled.
Yet now it cries aloud unto you, and would stand revealed be-fore you.
And ever has it been that love knows not its own depth until separation

A noontide have you been in our twilight
Shall it be said my eve was in truth my dawn?
Now you've come in my awakening, which is my deeper dream
For to stay , though the hours burn in the night, is to freeze and crystallize and be bound in a mould.

Talked about reasoning behind physical fitness and it should be to embody ideals to vicariously perform as an assiduous energetic being would rather than what a sluggard would enact.

How the message is to be received is also important. It is comparable to the frames chosen for a painting to be displayed
