Did Kahlil Gibran say Ask not what your country can do for you but what can you do for your country?
Over the course of 18 months with extensive research and approval by leading Gibran scholars I completed what they confirmed is the conclusive answer to this question in a 10 page essay, which has been translated into Arabic and published in the leading Arabic magazine in Gibran's homeland, Lebanon. I have been unsuccessful in getting anyone to publish this paper in English as of yet.

Is the Philippines a MEDC or LEDC?
Philippines is a MEDC. - More Economic Developed Country. Some people say that it is an LEDC, but they only say this because of the negative pictures they see from the Internet and mostly because of the eruption back in 1991, but they haven't really been to the Philippines. So .. Before you say anything about the Philippines, make sure that you have been there and you are right. Also, some people ask 'if it is an LEDC, where do they get their money from?' Most teachers in school say that, they get it from the Americans, but that is not true. Yes, it is true that some people are poor but doesn't mean that everyone is, there are lots of wealthy people in the Philippines as they have massive houses. For example, in England, they're poor and wealthy people but it doesn't mean it is an MEDC... because you have no idea how they can manage.. or whatever...

JFK is attributed to saying Ask not what your country can do for you but what you can do for your country didn't Kahlil Gibran first say that regarding his homeland Lebanon?
The John F. Kennedy quote is more than attributed. It is documented. He did in fact say "Ask not what your country can do for you" as part of his inaugural address given on 20 January 1961. There have been questions about whether he was influenced by other authors who may have said similar things. This would not be surprising, since speeches often refer back to other sources. We do not whether President Kennedy was a fan of Kahlil Gibran, but Gibran did publish a similar statement in his 1925 work titled "The New Frontier", thirty-six years before President Kennedy's 1961 Inaugural Address. This similarity has been noted by scholars at Princeton University, where some of Gibran's papers reside. Here is the quote: "Are you a politician asking what your country can do for you or a zealous one asking what you can do for your country? If you are the first, then you are a parasite; if the second, then you are an oasis in a desert." Khalil Gibran. http://www.princeton.edu/pr/pwb/07/0618/07a.shtml

What does khalil gibran say about love?
I understand the poem by the great Khalil Gibran but have difficulty articulating it. If you want to articulate this subject to greater depth I suggest perusing "Song of songs" by Watchman Nee. "(Kahlil's) poem is about love's calling and the complete surrender of one's will to be completely one with the one who calls, and the depth of the emotion and risks to one's life as one knows life to be if one so chooses to surrender, and the implications of lament to one's life if one was to not follow love's beckon call. It is my belief that both Gibran and Nee attempted to capture the essence of love's devotion when both engaged themselves to share their contemplatio on love..."

And the selfsame well from which your laughter rises was oftentimes filled with your tears. And how else can it be? The deeper that sorrow carves into your being, the more joy you can contain. Is not the cup that holds your wine the very cup that was burned in the potter's oven? And is not the lute that soothes your spirit, the very wood that was hollowed with knives? When you are joyous, look deep into your heart and you shall find it is only that which has given you sorrow that is giving you joy. When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight. Some of you say, "Joy is greater thar sorrow," and others say, "Nay, sorrow is the greater." But I say unto you, they are inseparable. Together they come, and when one sits, alone with you at your board, remember that the other is asleep upon your bed. Verily you are suspended like scales between your sorrow and your joy. Only when you are empty are you at standstill and balanced. When the treasure-keeper lifts you to weigh his gold and his silver, needs must your joy or your sorrow rise or fall.
