Do Not Love Half Lovers by Khalil Gibran

[@Orangeomgg]

Do not love half, lovers Do not entertain half friends Do not indulge in works od the half talented Do not live half a live Do not die a half death If you choose silence then be silent When you speak do so until youre finished Do not silence yourself to say something And do not speak to be silent If you except then express it bluntly, Do not mask it If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance Do npt accept half a solution Do not believe half truths Do nor dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes Half a drink will not quench your thirst Half a meal will not satiate your hunger Half the way will get you nowhere Half an idea will bear you no results Your other half is not the one you love it is you in another time yet in the same space it is you when you are not Half a life is a life you didnt live a word youve not said A smile you postponed A love youve not had A friendship you didnt know To reach not to arrive Work and not work Attend only to be absent What makes you a stranger to them closet to you And they strangers to you The half is the mere moment of inability But you are able For you are not half a being You are a whole that exists to live a life Not half a life

OMFG I’m a Mobb Deep fan who came to this video out of heartbreak and I spit out my tea laughing. 😂 Thanks for that.

Half a life is a life you didnt live. I love this poem. It speaks so much about life It is absolutely touching

[@lara.0792]

Somewhere between the lines of the sketches, the strokes of the letters, and the chords of the voice... I found myself in tears. Keep being your amazing you, illy ♡

[@akidwithacameraorjustillneas]

Awww thank you so much Lara, I hope you are ok ^^

[@a.m.scape_5133]

The visuals always send me away, somewhere simpler. Where it all feels ok. The half finished clay sculptures were so fitting for this writing. Simple but powerful work

[@akidwithacameraorjustillneas]

❤️❤️❤️

[@dario3424]

I have yet to see two people that really loves each other stay together. Seems like majority prefer to settle with bare minimum just to not be alone. Only to, with the mind, at night, go to find their true love.

[@noahbrown4388]

Now that is poetry! True love is as rare as a rainbow and just as ephemeral.

[@yarahilal6544]

Khalil Gibran is a poet and artist from my home country, thank you for turning his poem into such a beautiful video

[@akidwithacameraorjustillneas]

always inspiring 🌌 this poem is a reminder for me to drive away from where it doesn't fit, where i do not feel it.

[@77MisterEpic77]

Your ability to perfectly match songs with the visuals and voiceovers encapsulates me. That is true vision and talent. Thank you for the inspiration.

[@xaeaxii7777]

I hate myself for loving half of a man he was so beautiful and kind and delicious and wise I thought half was more than enough for me but it killed me to know he loved someone more than me he degraded our love and made us feel like shit I don’t think I will ever recover from this he has always been a halfway kinda guy always unsure of what he wanted even where he was geographically he always made it a question asking rhetorical questions about everything and he was unsure of me and didn’t love me and that freakin hurts

[@smilekeshwer281]

One of my most favourite poem ever. It shows our psychology, that we are always living a half life

[@Vanessacsaint]

Passion or nothing. ❤ People and their luke warm existence can drift away.

A masterpiece from a mastermind 😭❤️

[@akidwithacameraorjustillneas]

Aww

[@arihutchison3097]

I keep coming back to this video again and again. I’ve read this so often, but hearing together with the video and the music puts me in such a different place. It makes me want to life so fully, and to never speak when I should stay silent, so stay silent when I feel that something must be said. I don’t comment very often, but I had to tell you how much this piece moved me. It really has. Thank you so much for putting your creativity out there, I can’t wait to see more of it. Maybe one day our paths will cross, you’re not too far from me; it would be pretty cool to meet the person who whose videos continue to influence my creativity and my outlook on life. Much love bro.

It's right don't fall for half lovers, the halfness of them will can do anything,will can scare u, they will hurt u just to feel full.. But maybe i am also just half like them.. We all are half in our stories/someone stories It shouldn't be on this my fyp but it is, i may talk bullshit .last day something happened and now morning its in my fyp, wtf but last day one of my really close friend texted me after 6 month that why i block him. He is manipulative, and find a way to take out everything he want from my side cuz his gf cries once cuz of me months ago.. He wants to know why she cries that's why he djd. Just like always he use me and throw And yk what's the worst part i loved him like crazily and he was first love but sometimes first is worst.. I don't think i want tk fall again .

Actually this piece was written by Charles Bukowski

[@akidwithacameraorjustillneas]

I don't think so, can you link your source?

[@adnanhalilovic6349]

That is not even the same way of writing,don't get me wrong I love Charles Bukowski becouse of his special way to say how is reality of his life he write like when I read his masterpiece I walking through his deepest thinking about everything and everyone can find himself in that brutal true with sarcasm or anger or just funny bat true look clearly who is he maybe,who are we,what he think what is just how he writing and pull out the darkest secret and throw all in our lives faces how do you see from pearson to pearson but he never cross aboard just when you expect that he find way to everyone can find peace of mind after recognise himself but shamed by that,that kind of people are with heart and soul and they have some plane for future that not include the job which Charles Bukowski have truly discussed opinion but with understand that someone must do even that kind of job so he use just enough sarcasm mixing with anger and in the end he served that as joke but brutal true,who find himself defended in that and think that is something normal like beating people on the street,killing like it's just a job,looking death every day till you see your friend and keep work mechanical that kind of people are just an assholes and not understand that is not normal someone just don't have choice becouse it is more payment and it's not for life so try being how much you can out of that circle just if you must do that cry when you go to sleep keep head proudly up and don't ever think to do job which is hated of all around the world I am going much faraway but I try to say what is point of this different writing in the Khalil and Charles Bukowski Khalil is with heart and soul in real emotion and saying how is normal to doing anything to being short it is how I see and except that is not good no matter what doing,giving,hope,love,...just to the halfway it is never something what can satisfying me first,give for this one life everything and how much you can that is only way to say sometime when you come to the end and we will feel that for shore but it is how much we live easy to go freely becouse you don't regret about everything what you do when you look back it is being mistakes and much more good things that is only way to say now I can go away with smile,your family is happy becouse you are give everything from yourself to be happy and even more than happy knowing you are make happy everyone else this are things for what we have right to say I'm proud,to give everything to do what is so damn hard to anyone but this is your chance to doing after something what will make your soul to find peace becouse you give a lot later to society and being happy and enjoy in your peace after days,week's even year's of sorrow and only you know how much tears and suffer but you are doing only thing that you must now or being statistics from street and hurt your family Charles Bukowski is always on the edge when hard work and selff distracting people find his own pain and just when they remember that is hurting them what they doing in life,must to doing Charles Bukowski mixed his medicine sarcasm and anger just enough to you have a satisfaction from that art to touch soul in a right way that you know it is something what you must to do but you are not that and find some peace even you hate destiny what bring you through all of that if you read further that is who you really are white heart and soul big more than you'll ever know,but always there are a few assholes who don't read they are in that Bukowski mixed sarcasm or anger,stupidity what make him maybe anger so he is brutal true teller a staff what he say so much clever and reasonable to understand everyone but with three choices sarcastic anger funny but true and even four way understand how you see all about he writing and that is ok Khalil touch soul and heart with something what life is about to give maximum in everything what you start or do not try what you are not able to give yourself all don't starting what you can't give yourself truly and without thinking that is breaking down for live full life in what you can with no hurting anyone,love or don't try if you are thinking you feel it,live life day by day and give all of you in things you feel that is who you are what you can,what make you happy and that is not half of everything,choose yourself in what you can give all whatever it is and fly across the universe freely happy and enjoy becouse that will end so choose smart,everything have a price don't give yourself all in just what you think is what you deserve happiness best of the best in the world around you nothing small even a bit take a time you need think about your possibility and dot think just on yourself,life is boring as that you try give everything to bring to happiness from place where you are to the sky nothing less than that,wish to have love to give all you have to someone who know how to cherish and give it back,do everything to show what you are and who you are no matter what you are being before everyone are sinners and they make mistakes and wrong decisions,why that Khalil is saying,becouse you are be nothing in everything or give just half of what you can,becouse of that we regret,give all of yourself in what you need to give to be a pearson live a life not to be a half of pearson and live just a part of life and that part can be good one it's not complete it is a half of your life bad one why?Becouse the good one don't have a chance you should not be scarred to give yourself all that is only way you can know is it worth and listen the words of Khalil every day you must see clearly and say to yourself before I am being wrong happy not fully love not honestly so from now don't be half pearson be the complete if you be hurt on that road it is painful but you know you are alive pain will go away you must again prepare to new one try remember mistakes,and if you feel that is what you are looking for try to be a friend first give a space to know each other if she-he was on the same page give yourself fully to the sky nothing less becouse if you give a half of everything you will have nothing half hour,half job half sleeping half way going and stop and wait someone to pick up you and do the rest bring you to end of the other half side it is nonsense stupid and that is in life to can live a half of life and rest like you just must to live that is insane,but nobody can alone there is love come when you be hurt,in pain,crying like you never imagine that is possible,and find true one love the one who make you smile when you go to sleep and wake up with smile becouse of the same o God what a joy what is that feeling like you sometimes ask yourself am I deserve all of this,then came reward child,tears of joy,job you going to work with smile and all in what you give yourself with feeling what happened I except and happened must if you have giving all of you the best possible things don't suspect keep it you deserve it...I am emotional man I cry when I'm being hurt I cry when I'm happy and have a reason to let tears to flow I don't care I am who I am and this about Charles Bukowski and Khalil Gibran is not to much and stupid what I try to say it's hard for me I don't know English language very well but I can't stop becouse I think if I missing a part of all what I try to say what I think is different in Bukowski writing and Khalil and truly I love Charles more becouse I am not reading Khalil that much or listening like someone do that is not the same so whatever about taste I don't think that is something we need to discussing I hope that I am writing this white no funny mistake,but for me they are like sun and moon but for me that is like that I maybe understand differently but I stay behind my opinion again I say don't get me wrong I am not saying that I am right for everyone but I think like that I am staying behind I say and even for a moment I don't think different so if someone try to say am I wrong or not it's waste of time,maybe sound like this one is crazy it's just opinion don't go there if you are not ready to going nowhere and that is crazy I think,I know becouse I don't try to say say somebody is wrong just I don't agree with this compare Charles Bukowski and Khalil Gibran nothing else and I am here in Bosnia and Herzegovina is half past six o'clock in the morning,I am not sleeping at all so imagine how is on my place now and who know what I try to say they understand me but I think nobody will not read further than first few word's 😅🤣🤣🤣👋

Sometimes, all a whole person has got is half, some worlds are only made of half.... for there is a full day made of half day and half is night... the moon has half dark and half light....one minute is half of 30 seconds past when it's half a minute yet 30 seconds to its end at the same time. People live half their lives asleep in bed and half their lives running around or stuck in their head... a cup is half empty when it's half full. This poem is....... Some motivational trash like we need more of that. 😂
