"A human being is part of the whole, called by us 'Universe,' a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings assomething separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of hisconsciousness. 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 ofcompassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole [of] nature in its beauty."~Albert EinsteinWednesday, July 25, 2007
