The Madman

Whenever I read Gibran, I'm struck by his deep sense of life's duality. He constantly points us toward the “other side”—urging us to widen our lens, to see through someone else's eyes. Have we ever truly considered that madmen might have their thoughts, feelings, and points of view? Gibran does—and he brings it out with a sly touch of humour. Through his poems and parables, you're left questioning by the end: who's mad—the so-called madman, or the rest of us pretending to be sane?
