Title: Filed under: Who am I? What am I? What Shall I Do? Post by: Serena Duvet on Sep 29, 2012 10:05 pm “A human being is a part of a whole, called by us “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 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 (http://i1092.photobucket.com/albums/i411/KikiDuvet/BotticelliPrimaverawga-2huWebGalleryArt.jpg) ~ Sandro Botticelli "La Primavera" 1482 oil on panel, The Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italy Title: Re: Filed under: Who am I?
