The Good God and the Evil God by Kahlil Gibran. Kahlil Gibran, a Lebanese-American writer, poet and visual artist, published "The Madman, His Parables and Poems" in 1918. It is a collection of Parables and poems in which Gibran taunts and ridicules ignorance, outdated ideas and inherited traditions. Gibran made his hero a madman in order to evade logic, so no one can blame a madman, or as Gibran said, "Madness is the first step towards impartiality". In this way he seeks to build another world, more humane, more beautiful and more just - even if it were by illusion alone. -- The Good God and the Evil God met on the mountain top. The Good God said, "Good day to you, brother." The Evil God did not answer. And the Good God said, "You are in a bad humour today." "Yes," said the Evil God, "for of late I have been often mistaken for you, called by your name, and treated as if I were you, and it ill-pleases me." And the Good God said, "But I too have been mistaken for you and called by your name." The Evil God walked away cursing the stupidity of man. -- Read by David Wales https://librivox.org/the-madman-the-forerunner-by-kahlil-gibran/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Your Suggestions by Unicorn Heads Melancholia by Godmode -- https://pixabay.com/videos/sea-ocean-wave-that-goal-nature-99005/ https://pixabay.com/videos/particles-stars-twinkling-movement-323/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/flourish-dividers-gold-foil-hearts-6144402/ https://pixabay.com/photos/full-moon-moon-reflection-coastline-4781350/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/jesus-christ-portrait-face-divine-5829481/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/angry-expression-god-bearded-face-151332/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

And my friend said, "Behold the wisest man of our land." Then I left my friend and approached the blind man and greeted him. And we conversed. After a while I said, "Forgive my question; but since when has thou been blind?" "From my birth," he answered. Said I, "And what path of wisdom followest thou?" Said he, "I am an astronomer." Then he placed his hand upon his breast saying, "I watch all these suns and moons and stars." -- Read by David Wales https://librivox.org/the-madman-the-forerunner-by-kahlil-gibran/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Your Suggestions by Unicorn Heads Melancholia by Godmode -- https://pixabay.com/videos/sea-ocean-wave-that-goal-nature-99005/ https://pixabay.com/videos/particles-stars-twinkling-movement-323/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/flourish-dividers-gold-foil-hearts-6144402/ https://pixabay.com/photos/full-moon-moon-reflection-coastline-4781350/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/telescope-gazing-astronomy-moon-24264/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

And he was feared for his might and loved for his wisdom. Now, in the heart of that city was a well, whose water was cool and crystalline, from which all the inhabitants drank, even the king and his courtiers; for there was no other well. One night when all were asleep, a witch entered the city, and poured seven drops of strange liquid into the well, and said, "From this hour he who drinks this water shall become mad." Next morning all the inhabitants, save the king and his lord chamberlain, drank from the well and became mad, even as the witch had foretold. And during that day the people in the narrow streets and in the market places did naught but whisper to one another, "The king is mad. Our king and his lord chamberlain have lost their reason. Surely we cannot be ruled by a mad king. We must dethrone him." That evening the king ordered a golden goblet to be filled from the well. And when it was brought to him he drank deeply, and gave it to his lord chamberlain to drink. And there was great rejoicing in that city of Wirani, because its king and its lord chamberlain had regained their reason. -- Read by David Wales https://librivox.org/the-madman-the-forerunner-by-kahlil-gibran/ -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Your Suggestions by Unicorn Heads Melancholia by Godmode -- https://pixabay.com/videos/sea-ocean-wave-that-goal-nature-99005/ https://pixabay.com/videos/particles-stars-twinkling-movement-323/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/flourish-dividers-gold-foil-hearts-6144402/ https://pixabay.com/photos/full-moon-moon-reflection-coastline-4781350/ https://pixabay.com/photos/picture-window-stained-glass-698390/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline

"Satan" is a short story written in 1947 by Kahlil Gibran, the Lebanese-American writer, poet, and visual artist, and the writer of the well-known book, The Prophet. It is a symbolic and philosophical story in which Kahlil Gibran explains how religious leaders invented Satan to exploit religion as a lucrative career. In "Satan", Gibran wanted to reveal in a simple, fluid language that Satan and the religious leaders in their essence are two sides of the same coin, and the obvious enmity between them is nothing but a way to perpetuate their existence, and to continue exploiting simple people, and all this is in the name of religion and morals. -- My channel "Atum" on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4GrfTi1FYF87_wJnPxaSyA My email miladsidky1969@gmail.com Donation via PayPal if you see my content worth watching https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/miladsidkyatum -- CREDITS MUSIC Mermaid by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100671 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ --- Echoes of Time by Kevin MacLeod is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Source: http://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1300029 Artist: http://incompetech.com/ --- Photos and vids https://pixabay.com/photos/moon-sky-night-cloudy-moonlight-142977/ https://pixabay.com/videos/forest-rain-fog-trees-night-40034/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/mountains-dark-red-sun-background-2182894/ https://pixabay.com/illustrations/abstract-shape-to-form-to-dye-1963884/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/devil-demon-satan-reclining-evil-33932/ https://pixabay.com/vectors/priest-catholic-monk-robe-church-294291/ -- TEXT: https://cooltext.com/Logo-Design-Outline
