Kahlil Gibran for weddings

Some friends of mine got married on Saturday, and I was surprised to hear them quoting some nice sections of this.
There are some great messages in this book involving how lovers need to stay separate people. I’ve always hated the whole ‘two becoming one’ idea of marriage. You fell in love with each other separately – if you both lose your ‘identity’, neither will still be in love anymore.
Anyway, lots of the ‘reed standing alone in the wind’ sort of feelings, which fits into the Ayn Rand philosophy I’ve been following some over the last year or two.
Self-love starts with selfishness!
