Thoughts on Albert Einstein

I really like the part of this reading when it says "A human being is a part of the whole that we call the 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 illusion of his consciousness." I think this is true, that we are a part of something much bigger than ourselves. But also that alot of what we percieve can be misleading... like... i guess everyone one thinks that what they saw or experienced is right and true, its "what really happened"...like for example a crime scene. but there could be so many different stories and descriptions and perspectives, that who really knows whats true and what really went down? also, our emotions can be great at times, like when your happy or in love or whatever. but they can also be horrible, such as feeling jealous, or mad at someone. These bad emotions can lead people to hold grudges and not forgive.... My ma tells me what her ma told her... "its all in your head". So i think about that during stressful times or depressing times, because i really think we can have control of it. (its hard but we can control it,.... because its our minds... ionno if that makes sense lol)

  1. I really like what you said about individuals are a part of something much bigger than themselves. i also think that individuals have a huge importance and cant do it without one another. Everyone has a purpose big or small, and we all are working toward the bigger picture.
