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 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 ofcompassionto
embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its
beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but
the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the
liberation and a foundation for inner security.
Albert
Einstein (1879
- 1955) Mathematical
Circles
Love
alone can unite living beings so as to complete and fulfill
them... for it alone joins them by what is deepest in
themselves. All we need is to imagine our ability tolovedeveloping
until it embraces the totality of men and the earth."
~ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Live free and beauty surrounds you
The world still astounds you Each time you look at a star Stay free, where no walls divide you
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free (Stay free, where no walls divide you)
You're free as the roaring tide
So there's no need to hide Born free, and life is worth living
But only worth living
'cause you're born free
