...the whole universe...

"A human being is a part of the whole 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 delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a prison, 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 by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty." Albert Einstein

Striving

In any controversy, the instant we feel anger we have already ceased striving for the truth, and have begun striving for ourselves. - Buddha
