PARA PORTUGUES AQUI>>: Por que choras?
Photo of Majed’s grandfather
A man knocked at his Bedouin friend’s door to ask him a favor:
“I want you to lend me four thousand dinars because I have a debt to pay. Can you do that for me?”
The friend asked his wife to gather together everything they had of value, but even so it was not enough. They had to go out and borrow money from the neighbors until they managed to get the full amount.
When the man left, the woman noticed that her husband was crying.
“Why are you sad? Now that we’ve got ourselves in debt with our neighbors, are you afraid we won’t be able to repay them?”
“Nothing of the sort! I’m crying because he is someone I love so much, but even so I had no idea he was in need.
“I only remembered him when he had to knock on my door to ask me for a loan.”

In Swedish:
Varför gråter du?
En man knackade på sin beduinväns dörr för att fråga honom en tjänst:
“Jag undrar om du kan låna mig fyra tusen dinarer eftersom jag har en skuld att betala. Kan du göra detta för mig? ”
Hans vän bad sin hustrun att samla allt av värde de hade, men trots det var det inte nog. De var tvungna att gå ut och låna pengar av grannarna tills de lyckades få ihop hela beloppet.
När mannen lämnade dem, märkte kvinnan att hennes man grät.
“Varför är du ledsen? Nu när vi har satt oss i skulden till våra grannar, är du rädd att vi inte kommer att kunna betala dem åter?”
“Ingenting av detta! Jag gråter för att han är någon jag älskar så mycket, men trots detta hade jag ingen aning om att han befann sig i nöd.
“Jag kom bara ihåg honom när han var tvungen att knacka på min dörr för att fråga mig om ett lån.”

classic! I love your stories, it reminds me of what is truly important.
We’re so consumed with our own little world that most of the time, we forget to ask how our neighbors are doing and that’s why they also don’t ask. And, we feel we are not understood.
He who has to be asked, has waited too long…
;)
Everithing you wrote is so right and perfect! If we be like u say in your books and your blog, we will be an perfect and happy world! We need to help eachother before our close need to ask! We need to feel the others without too many words! We need only to love!
really inspiring one..jst luv readin ur bookzz…
As is read the Alchimist the first time, three years ago, I couldn t know that it is so deep in my mind and that all has become true to me what is written down in the book. One think which i learned is, that you really need to have courage to get a step closer to your aim or to develop yourself! Just to read the books is not enough, you have to live them! Thanks Paulo!
“Just to read the books is not enough, you have to live them!” – exactly precisely! hope i’m livin’ it right! Thanks Paulo!
Whenever I read your books my heart is filled with strange emotions which I cannot describe.Whatever you write, my heart understands it.Your writing really changed my thoughts.Like my favourite marathi writer G.A.Kulkarni,,your writing has become a part of my life.Thank you very much for that.
Your posts make my day. Your books, The Alchemist, The Devil & Ms Prym, have changed the way I approach life.
Thank you for sharing your insights.
Thank you Paulo Coelho for reminding us how unity and love are ways of living, beyond the feelings they bring to us. You have been an inspiration with every story, every work you wrote. Thank you,

I hope to share more of your divine writing with Vietnamese readers.
Le felicito senor Coelho. Por que solo en este mensaje lleva mas de 300 comentarios, Dios le bendiga. Saludos.
Para mi es un placer saludarlo, en estos momentos estoy leyendo Aleph, usted siempre me ha cautivado con su forma de escribir, pero en estos momentos ó más bien siempre me queda la sensación de querer experimentar lo que estoy leyendo. De repente siento cómo que usted vivio esto en algunos momento de su vida, porfavor contesteme que sí , necesito aprender a entrar al aleph.
Saludos y me encanta ¿no quiere ser mi novio? jajaja gracias por sus tantos libros maravillosos lo adoro
10/20 Sec read are my favorits !!!
Beautiful soul inspiring story…

Classic!!!!!!
True Friend!
…sento, non so perchè, che un giorno i nostri passi si incroceranno…buon cammino!
Miriam,
Paulo ha mencionado en varias entrevistas que Borges es uno de sus autores favoritos y por supuesto que conoce de su libro. Ambos libros se titulan igual, porque en ambos se habla del mismo fenomeno fisico- temporal; pero a la vez, son diferentes, porque se manifiestan en distintos lugares (en el caso de Borges, el aleph estaba en el sotano de una casa y Paulo lo encontro en el tren que lo llevaba por Siberia).
Un saludo,
Alex
Hello Mr.Coelho,
You’re the only public face which I would like to have a good chat over tea with, to talk about lot of things which have left me puzzled in life and I feel, as my instincts tell me that you’re one of the people having those answers.
Today, I get my self into deep trouble in school just to borrow your book. I was late just by a few minutes but I got into serious trouble because I tried standing up for myself and that your book is no nonsense!
I wish we were destined to have one talk about life and everything else, taht would be enough but it’s sad how life has it’s own plans if only dreams cold turninto reality at times. Thankyou for the briliant work, I’m a student and very much inspired though I don’t get inspired easily.
If there is a LIKED button, I would have LIKED this many times!
Un gusto enorme saludarlo, estoy leyendo Aleph y como siempre resurge mi pregunta de que si las cosas que describe como echos sucedidos vienen de su imaginacion o son echos reales?? Disculpe por mi ignorancia. Lo admiro mucho !!
So sad in a way…But the human heart has a vast gallery of lovex
The picture chosen for this post will remain my memory ……… I don’t know why….. Sometimes there are no reasons…….
Hello! My first visit, will visit you again. Seriously, I thoroughly enjoyed your posts. Congrats for your work.
Thanks for sharing!
MASHAALLAH! VERY TOUCHING AS USUAL
fascinating!
We are so involved in our own work (to earn our bread and run our families) that we don’t have any time to think about others.
française:
Nous sommes tellement impliqués dans notre propre travail (pour gagner notre pain et exécuter nos familles) que nous n’avons pas eu le temps de penser aux autres.
Beautiful soul inspiring story.
Great story…Look around and help before they knock your door.
Paulo, por todos los medios he deseado preguntarle algo, quizá éste no sea el lugar indicado pero no encontré otro :)
Cuándo eligió el nombre de su libro “Aleph” no reparó en el libro de Jorge Luis Borges “El Aleph” Sé que el artículo “El” no hace diferencia, ¿por qué escogió ese nombre?
Espero saciar mi curiosidad, ¡gracias!
belle histoire mais a savoir si les gens tiront enseignement parceque de nos jours malheureusement c’est chacun pour soit….alors que dans toutes les religions l’aide a autrui est un devoir…..merci Monsieur Paulo
