"A human being is part of the whole...
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings
as something separated from the rest -
a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness.
This delusion is kind of a prison for us,
restricting us to our personal desires
and to affection to 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 beuty."

Albert Einstein
