limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and
feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical
delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for
us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few
persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this
prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living
creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty."
--Albert Einstein
One of my favorite Einstein Quotes is:
ReplyDelete"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle."
I think the biggest reason this has left a lasting impression is:
Here we have Einstein, perhaps the greatest scientist of the 20th century talking about faith and miracles. Usually Science and Miracles don't mix. Yet here is Einstein mixing them. Thought that was miraculous in itself.
Thanks for calling Einstein to our thoughts, Orea.

Chris, that is another of my favorite Einstein quotes. He obviously wasn't just a great scientist and mathematician, but a very wise man.
