Kahlil Gibran Quotes
Our World Is So Complex That We Take For Granted Engineering Processes That Would Dwarf Any Of The Ancient Seven Wonders Of The World; We Ride Railroad Tracks That Do Not Follow Faithfully The Curvature Of The Earth, For The Train Would Jump The Tracks If They Were Level. We Pass Skyscrapers Whose Stress And Strain Are Figured To The Millionth Of An Inch, Yet Take For Granted That The Empire State Building Actually Sways Constantly Many Feet. If We Are Religiously Inclined, We Take Going To The Church Of Our Choice For Granted; If We Are Non Believers, We Give No Second Thought To The Fact That We Do Not Have To Attend Religious Services If We Do Not Choose. Yet The Very Privilege Of Non-belief Represents The Victory Of Philosophy; Otherwise The Non-churchgoer Would Still Face The Lions Or The Stake.
