More about me

I don't take myself too seriously, no one should, and God knows how much fun my friends will make about me writing this blog, but I promised myself to try and exteriorise my thoughts a little bit more in order for them not to overwhelm me. In other words this blog is like an outlet for me and I plan on staying as anonymous as possible.

I love Einstein, and yes, I am talking about the genius german born theoretical physicist, although I do not claim to understand even a tiny fragment of his life's work in the field of phisics, I have always been fascinated by the power of the mind and smart people, and reading his views on life opened up my mind and influenced my personality greatly.

I would like to add a paragraph from Einstein's "The World As I See It"(also where I got the title for the blog), I believe it's something everyone should at least read:
"The fairest thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion which stands at the cradle of true art and true science. He who knows it not and can no longer wonder, no longer feel amazement, is as good as dead, a snuffed-out candle. It was the experience of mystery--even if mixed with fear--that engendered religion. A knowledge of the existence of something we cannot penetrate, of the manifestations of the profoundest reason and the most radiant beauty, which are only accessible to our reason in their most elementary forms--it is this knowledge and this emotion that constitute the truly religious attitude; in this sense, and in this alone, I am a deeply religious man. I cannot conceive of a God who rewards and punishes his creatures, or has a will of the type of which we are conscious in ourselves. An individual who should survive his physical death is also beyond my comprehension, nor do I wish it otherwise; such notions are for the fears or absurd egoism of feeble souls. Enough for me the mystery of the eternity of life, and the inkling of the marvellous structure of reality, together with the single-hearted endeavour to comprehend a portion, be it never so tiny, of the reason that manifests itself in nature."
