To be the daughter of the scriptures and the daughter of poetry
The Arab said that in order to understand Picasso, he should be the son of verses, not the sons of verses. I think of several times when I admired works of art in museums, I was surprised that my beliefs were so different from theirs. It's different, maybe I can't understand it even if I stand all day.
It’s just that I have a different view from this Arab. I always think that the scriptures are also poems, the poems written by David and the prophets. "The Lord Is My Shepherd" is widely circulated among Christians, and it is also one of my favorite songs:
The LORD is my Shepherd, I will not want.
He made me lie down in green pastures, He led me beside still waters.
He revives my soul and guides me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
And I believe that the Qur'an is a fictional story, a very creative literary creation, and I feel guilty for my curiosity. How can I open the book with the words "Quran"? In the Muslim world, the wise King Solomon is a magician who moves on a flying carpet and speaks animal languages. When I was a child, because I mixed fairy tales with the Bible, I was always concerned by religious teachers and asked me to go back and read more scriptures. . Who made me believe in those heresies?
I am the daughter of the scriptures, which is my birthright, a kind of inherited glory; I must be the daughter of the scriptures, and I cannot pursue the beauty of poetry (they are all vanity), and I completely believe in the truth of God and the vanity of man. lie. From my birth to my death, I can only be the daughter of the scriptures, pretending that I can't see those... (I can't think of a good definition) or "worldly glory and wealth", ignoring my physical weakness, usually refers to It is the seven emotions and six desires, and those weaknesses are also regarded as diseases.
When the daughter of the scriptures was sick, she wanted to find comfort from the psalm. I said, "Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever." In her mother's womb, she will return naked; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away. Blessed be the name of the LORD." I asked Muhammad from Casablanca, how should a daughter of the scriptures pray when she is sick? "Accept the disease, and you can only pray if you believe in God," he said.
A "daughter of the scriptures" who grew up in a civilized city is getting used to the integration of new knowledge and old culture every day. This is the normal state of immigrants living in foreign countries. Their ancestors lived like this thousands of years ago. When will they Can a daughter who receives poetry also be a daughter of scripture?
