I thought it would be kind of interesting to end the path of religion blogging with the oh so famous Albert Einstein. A man with a powerful and intellectual brain. A man who realized that he must imagine the impossible. Strive to look outside the box of reality and figure the impossible. He has the science kind of view towards religions. He believes that the real beauty is in our own self and thoughts. That pretty much we must remember that we are part of the entire universe. Just because we are a mere billionth of a molecule of the universe, we are still part of it. All living things exist together and we wouldn't be here if it weren't here for the animals and plants in this world.
"The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self." (191)
That basically he feels that we must appreciate the world and universe and everything around us. From every living soul, if its your next door neighbor, your pet dog, or even the flowers in your front yard. That we get so caught up in our selves that we forget about the beauty of the souls around us. That he feels that our own thoughts causes an illusion that gets us caught up in only our personal desires and a few select around us. That we need to learn to love the world and life and not for get the beauty of life is unimaginable.
"Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living beings and all of nature" (192)

I also chose to write about the quote:"The true value of a human being can be found in the degree to which he has attained liberation from the self." I find that we have many of the same interpretations this week. I realize that I get caught up in my own life and forget to appreciate the little things (or as they say smell the roses).
I am excited by the fact that there is always something for me to learn and something to learn from everyone and everything.
Hey I really liked your last blog. I completly agree with the fact that we should all learn to appriciate the world around us. Not just the people but the simple beauty of just being alive.
