Giving in Return

“Strange is our situation here upon earth.
Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why,
yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose.
From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know:
That we are here for the sake of other men —
above all for those upon whose smile and well-being our own happiness depends,
for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy.
Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people,
both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return
as much as I have received and am still receiving.”
~ Albert Einstein, Living Philosophies
Really thoughtful.
I am on the earth to make a lot of mistakes and gain more knowledge.😊
