A Letter From Albert
Einstein To His Daughter

A letter from Albert
Einstein to his daughter:
In the late 1980s, Lieserl,
the daughter of the famous genius, donated 1,400 letters, written by Einstein,
to the Hebrew University, with orders not to publish their contents until two
decades after his death. This is one of them, for Lieserl Einstein.
"When I proposed the
theory of relativity, very few understood me, and what I will reveal now to
transmit to mankind will also collide with the misunderstanding and prejudice
in the world.
I ask you to guard the
letters as long as necessary, years, decades, until society is advanced enough
to accept what I will explain below.
There is an extremely
powerful force that, so far, science has not found a formal explanation to. It
is a force that includes and governs all others, and is even behind any
phenomenon operating in the universe and has not yet been identified by us.
This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for
a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.
Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it. Love is gravity,
because it makes some people feel attracted to others. Love is power, because
it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in
their blind selfishness.
Love unfolds and reveals.
For love we live and die. Love is God and God is Love.
This force explains
everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored
for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy
in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will.
To give visibility to love,
I made a simple substitution in my most famous equation. If instead of E = mc2,
we accept that the energy to heal the world can be obtained through love
multiplied by the speed of light squared, we arrive at the conclusion that love
is the most powerful force there is, because it has no limits.
After the failure of
humanity in the use and control of the other forces of the universe that have
turned against us, it is urgent that we nourish ourselves with another kind of
energy…
If we want our species to
survive, if we are to find meaning in life, if we want to save the world and
every sentient being that inhabits it, love is the one and only answer.
Perhaps we are not yet
ready to make a bomb of love, a device powerful enough to entirely destroy the
hate, selfishness and greed that devastate the planet.
However, each individual
carries within them 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 affirmed that love
conquers all, is able to transcend everything and anything, because love is the
quintessence of life.
I deeply regret not having
been able to express what is in my heart, which has quietly beaten for you all
my life. Maybe it's too late to apologize, but as time is relative, I need to
tell you that I love you and thanks to you I have reached the ultimate
answer!"
Your father,
Albert Einstein
