Summary

"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 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 This quote highlights the interconnectedness of human beings with the larger universe. It suggests that our perception of individuality and separation from others is a mere illusion, limiting our potentials and trapping us in selfish desires. The quote emphasizes the goal of breaking free from this self-imposed prison by expanding our empathy and compassion, not only towards fellow human beings but towards all living beings and the natural world as a whole. By doing so, we can recognize our inherent connection to everything and find harmony with the beauty of existence.
