COMPASSION



A human being is part of a whole, called by us ' the Universe', a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, 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 us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.

- Albert Einstein -

I hadn't heard the Einstein version before but this is certainly a basic truth.

    Quoting spiritwoman45:

I recall having read a lot of Einstein's philosophy, SpiritGirl, in my younger days.

I found him a great proponent of the complementarity between science and spirituality/faith.

Have a wonderful Sunday after a nice evening today.
