Einstein’s letter to a grieving father

Jan 15, 2023

the above is a screenshot from an excellent March 2017 post on this at The Marginalian*

thoughts arising on reading the letter:

nothing doesn’t change

nothing is perfect

nothing depends on nothing

nothing is other than what is

there is only this being

there are no other beings

for someone to imagine there are is
a kind of optical delusion of their consciousness

thoughts arising / as anything arises, ask to whom it arises and then ask: Who am I? (!*)

nothing … depends on nothing / anicca … anatta (!?)

nothing is other than what is / no one is

/ only in the mind or by convention is anything or anyone an entity (!*)
