At that particular time, the Arabs worked alongside the British and the Germans with the Turks (Lawrence 164). The seven pillars of wisdom can be associated with the revolt of the Arabs against the Turks. The pillars also aid the process of decision making when a person is faced with different situations. Values that help people interact properly are also clearly brought out in these pillars. They also encourage us to live a more desirable life and enable people to recognize others who are important to them and understand how to acknowledge them. They help people to know the purpose of life, and this makes them have a focus. The pillars create a foundation for all religions and are very important for those who seek the truth. A great reward awaits those who act by the above, which includes, above all, a ticket to the kingdom of heaven. Moreover, they also motivate people to be peacemakers and act in the right way. In summary, the beatitudes encourage people to be meek, merciful, and pure at heart. The artwork used for the cover is 'Sandstorm in the Libyan Desert' by Max Slevogt.The seven pillars of wisdom were developed from the first seven out of the nine beatitudes contained in the book of Mathew in the holy bible.
