A letter from Einstein to his daughter ...
At the end of the 1980s, the daughter of the famous genius, Lieserl, donated 1,400 letters written by Einstein to the Hebrew University, with the assignment not to publish their contents until two decades after his death. This is one of them...
..When I had presented the theory of relativity, only a few understood me, and what I will now reveal in order to convey to humanity will also clash with the misunderstandings and prejudices in the world. I ask you to keep the letters as necessary, for years, for decades to guard, until the society has advanced far enough to accept what I will explain below. There is an extraordinarily powerful force that science has so far found no formal explanation for. It is a force that encompasses and concerns all others, and even behind every phenomenon working in the universe and not yet identified by us.
This universal power is LOVE. When scientists searched for a unified theory of the universe, they forgot the most powerful invisible force. Love is Light, which illuminates those who give and receive. Love is gravity because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because it multiplies the best that we have, and allows mankind not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness. Love unfolds and reveals. Because for Love we live and die. Love is the Divine and The Divine is Love.
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, perhaps because we are afraid of Love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to submit to.
To give visibility to Love, I made a simple comparison in my most famous formula.
If, instead of E = mc2, we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained by love multiplied by the speed of light in the square, we come to the conclusion that love is the strongest force, because it has no limits. After the failure of humanity in the use and control of other forces of the universe that have turned against us, it is imperative that we feed ourselves with a different kind of energy ...
If we want our species to survive, if we want to find the meaning of life, if we want to save the world and every living thing that inhabits it, love is the only answer. Perhaps we are not yet ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to completely destroy the hatred, selfishness, and greed that is destroying the planet.
However, each individual carries within himself a small but powerful generator of love whose energy is waiting to be released.
When we learn to give and receive this universal energy, dear Lieserl, we will have confirmed that love overcomes everything, and is capable of transcending anything and everything, for love is the essence of life.
I deeply regret that I have not been able to express what is in my heart, which has been silent for all of you, my whole life. Maybe it's too late to apologize, but because time is relative, I have to tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have been able to reach the ultimate answer!
Your father Albert Einstein
