Einstein Quote

A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part 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

What this quote means to me is that as humans we are very conceited, all humans know is what they have experience for themselves and looking for the bigger picture. That we as humans all we can think about what is what wee have and what we can do, all the things we do can affect those around us because it what we want and as part of being conceited we are also jealous of those around us and if we do not have that attention we get upset, and visa versa. We need to learn how to accept others around us an d learn from their experiences because we can if we listen be preventing ourselves from dying if we do something we don’t know about but they did.
