Life is nothing but a tear and a smile, which a person discovers, no matter what his condition. Gibran sees in this book that the miserable person is the one who seeks only laughter, and the wise is the one who realizes that the alternation of joys and sorrows is one of the laws and laws of life. The importance of reading a book like "A Tear and a Smile" for new generations lies in stopping the rushing tide of fast life, and calling for a moment to pause to contemplate sentences written with transparency and honesty, that invite a person to look at nature and life around him and see the beauty in it, and also invite him to see within himself, And knowing the short days and lives that pass breathlessly.Gibran says at the beginning of this transparent and poignant book: "I do not exchange the sorrows of my heart for people''s joys, nor do I accept that the tears drawn by depression turn from within me and turn into laughter. I hope that my life remains a tear and a smile, a tear that purifies my heart and makes me understand the secrets and mysteries of life, and a smile that will be the symbol of my joy." "With my presence."
