I've always liked that quote by Einstein. Yes, the beauty of the world is the diversity and endless variations. It would be quite boring if everyone were exactly the same. Great discoveries are very often born of those who think and act differently than what the 'normal' standards of society are. We need to embrace the beautiful variety as long as in doing so it also embraces the right to liberty and happiness for all. Sadly, great thinkers, artists and inventors are often misunderstood. Einstein is a prime example, and his theories are still continuing to prove themselves in modern physics. If he didn't think differently and 'outside the box' we could still be stuck in a limited view of the universes(s). Others have come along, but Einstein is a good example of someone being labeled as a 'misfit' by society at a young age. Thank goodness he continued to try and I think that part of that credit goes to both his mother and his first wife, who both supported him. Anyway, this is getting long. I like how engaging you are. Thanks for posting. I'm posting an article on depression if you're interested. BTW my perspective is both from my profession as an occupational therapist and having suffered from depression and ptsd myself, so it's definitely not one-sided. :)
