Philosophy - Albert Einstein

This quote was added by manzadkilimanoo
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.

That's a long and complex way to say what is written in Proverbs:

"One isolating himself will seek [his own] selfish longing; against all practical wisdom he will break forth."
Proverbs18:1
