Infinite

"Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former."

~ Albert Einstein


Einstein has so many great quotes. I believe Einstein when he said that human stupidity is infinite. Perhaps because our egos make drive us to make stupid, selfish decisions. Maybe stupidity is simply apart of human nature. Who knows. But if we as people weren't so stupid, why do we all pay for needlessly inflated gas prices? Or why do so many comprise their beliefs and passions to get a paycheck? Perhaps these are just a few of the paradoxes that the great philosophers spoke about.

If the universe is infinite, what is our time and place in it? Perhaps this is what Einstein thought of when he discovered the Theory of Relativity.
