Einstein
de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception
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 separate 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
people near 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
