Abstract

This thesis aims to discuss the theme of balance in life in the poem "Joy and Sorrow" by Kahlil Gibran. The method used is descriptive analysis through intrinsic and extrinsic approaches contained in this poem. Everyone has different needs and priorities, to achieving balance in life requires strong reflection and self-awareness. Some things can be done to achieve balance in life, such as prioritising time with family and friends, managing time wisely and maintaining physical and mental health. Additionally, it is essential to periodically highlight aspects of life that require more attention and make necessary adjustments. In philosophical reflection on balance in life, one can also consider important values, such as happiness, love, and the meaning of life. This concept teaches that seeking balance in life is not only about maintaining a balance between work and personal life, but also about achieving harmony in larger and more significant aspects of life.
