Einstein: the honesty of a genius

"Fantasy Themes" for your Nokia cellphones



---------------------------------------

Albert Einstein, Leonardo da Vinci and William Shakespeare, they have bee considered probably the smartest men in the history of the humanity.

"Genius" in our tradition is mostly considered a "man", someone with a unique power of mind and strong personality. But most of the times these individuals with one or more extraordinary talents are extremely humble and reserved persons and probably not even as "men" as many believe they are.

Leonardo da Vinci was probably .... gay.

(Monna Liza really could be a young ephoebic man or a tansgender as well as the feminine image of St. John in the "Last Supper".

As far as concern Willian Shakespeare many believe that a very smart women was probably hidden behind the most famous name in the literature.

So, what's the meaning of being a genius today? What about all the geniuses we don't know because they are not publicized in the western world? What about their lives and personal history? A genius in much more than a body with an extremely sophisticated brain. A Genius is a person that see well beyond the mind of a President, a Pope and a General can normally see. He sees the future understanding the present and respecting the past. He can see through the eyes of a child because his hope and curiosity never change. He can die with a smile on his face and a pain in his heart because he knows he can understand things others cannot. He mostly receives a great respect from the people and a very limited respect from the authorities who believe they can see the future better than he can because they have multiple brains at their service. A genius is a flower with all the colors, a rainbow, a superb actor who doesn't really act because he is who he is, a hand on the head of the humanity which reassure us we have a scope in our lives.

I would like to leave Albert Einstein himself to answer the questions and the doubts:

" Immagination is more important than knowledge.

Knowledge is limited. Immagination encircles the world.

I have no special talents. I'm only passionately curious.

With fame I become more and more stupid, which of course is a very common phenomenon.

Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to aquire it.

If I were to start taking care of my grooming, I would no longer be my own self ...

Falling in love is not at all the most stupid thing that people do - but gravitation cannot be held responsible for it.

Why is that nobody understands me, yet everybody likes me?

On relativity: "An hour sitting with a pretty girl on a park bench passes like a minute, but a minute sitting on a hot stove seems like an hour."

It would be better if you began to teach others only after you yourself have learned something.

I have reached an age when, if someone tells me to wear socks, I don't have to.

The eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility ... The fact that is comprehensible is a miracle.

I never worry about the future. It comes soon enough.

The important thing is not stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.

So, let's hope to have more geniuses and less Presidents, Prime Ministers and Religious integralists !
