in Ideas Worth Sharing

Human being – quote from Einstein

A human being is part of the whole called by us “universe,” a part limited in time and space. We experience ourselves, our thoughts and feelings as something separate from the rest. A kind of optical delusion of 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 the prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in all of its beauty… We shall require a substantially new manner of thinking if humankind is to survive.

– Albert Einstein
