Exaggerating the Truth?

An exaggeration is a truth that has lost its temper.
Kahlil Gibran

Ah, a big man I had to be

from myself, I had to flee

an exaggerated fool is me

I agree with what you said. An exaggeration is often more lie than truth and can cause tempers to flare. Always good to have you share with In Other Words.

Oh my. You are running such a beautiful blog! I love love love Kahlil Gibran, and his “The Madman” is one of my favourite pieces of all time (highly recommended).
And may I just say, you have such a beautiful writing style. Simply reading this made m feel very warm & serene.

I have to agree with Kahlil Gibran. His philosophy on life with all of its facets is so true but beautifully said.
