The greatest victory

Post by Ebrahim Algobi »

The greatest victory
The last person I hardly know
Some time ago, you became a person.
It doesn't look like me when.. I'm not used to it and I'm not familiar with it
to return
how hard you try,
But it seems that I missed your way back,
And you do not regret..
Because the greatest victories from this person is that I conquered a soul
And everything below that I no longer classify among my losses
I realized at that time that a person's personality is changeable, so I am not now as he is for a day.
Or for a month or even a year ago, small details change in us and we do not feel
Conflicts and paths change us, the euphoria of victory or the stumbling block of failure,
But whatever changes on the outside of a person, it must change within him.
To know the intimacy of what is behind all the softness, to know its essence
If a person knows himself, he will be aware of its faults and act upon its virtues.
Raise him to a safe harbor and come
t no
I wanted his blood to rise with a strong wind, untouched by it
w
He knows his strengths and conceals his weaknesses.
There is no greater victory than for a person to know himself.

This poem beautifully delves into the introspective journey of self-discovery. It emphasizes the fluidity of human nature, the evolving self, and the significance of embracing both strengths and vulnerabilities. The greatest victory is in understanding oneself, a message that resonates powerfully in this thought-provoking piece.
