And a merchant said, Speak to us of Buying and Selling.
And he answered and said
The earth gives fruit, and you will not be put to hardship only if you know how to fill your hands.
E 'exchanging gifts of land you will find plenty and be satisfied.
But if the exchange will not be with love and equal justice,
all'ingordigia that some will not lead to hunger and others.
When you toilers of the sea and fields and vineyards meet the weavers in the marketplace,
potters and sellers of spices,
then invoked the supreme spirit of the land is carried out between you to sanctify the scales and calculation,
weights and values \u200b\u200bso that they match.
And let not those who participate in your hands sterile transactions, because they
sell their chatter for your efforts.
should say to these men:
"Come with us in the fields, or go with our brothers to the sea to dispose of your network:
Because the earth and the sea will be as generous with us. "
And if there come the singers and dancers and the flute players, well. Also includes their gifts.
Because they too are gatherers of fruit and 'incense, and what they will go, although
of dreams, and ornaments and food for your soul.
And before you leave the marketplace, look to no one goes away empty-handed.
As the supreme spirit of the earth will not rest in peace in the wind until the needs of the least among you,
not met.
Kahlil Gibran
(Many of the writings of Gibran have an argument for Christianity, in particular the theme of spiritual love. His poetry is distinguished by the use of a formal language and for comments on the issues of life through spiritual terms.)
