Storms

Gibran Khalil Gibran returns once again to interrogating and addressing nature in his book "Storms", and through nature he summons life as a whole with its two great poles of life and death, and between them is love, as a strong and stormy thread extending between them.According to Gibran, love is not only what exists between a man and a woman, but rather it is the great thread of love that unites all human beings. In "The Storms", Gibran is not satisfied with imitating nature and questioning it. Rather, he stops at man in his relationship with the past, and with the heavy inheritance it carries that sometimes hinders him from progressing. Gibran calls for rebellion and modernity, not to submit to yesterday only because it is inherited and sacred. He says: "The calamity of children lies in the gifts of fathers, and whoever does not deprive himself of the gifts of his fathers and grandfathers will remain a slave of the dead until he becomes one of the dead."
