If I have given
a chance to see and talk with a historical person, I would love to talk to Mr.
Albert Einstein, the great physicist and scientist. I chose him because my
idolization for him talking about intelligence never stops me to amaze.
Albert: I can’t
understand people nowadays.
Meryl: Why, Mr.
Einstein?
Albert: They
cannot see life as beautiful as it is.
Meryl: Sorry,
Sir. But I can’t understand you because I can see life beautifully. Kindly explain
it to me if it’s okay.
Albert: Of course
it is. I want someone who would get my point and share it to others so that
life would be so beautiful in people’s eyes.
Meryl: Hmmm.
Okay, Sir.
Albert: Well,
let me start to you, Meryl. How do you describe life except the thing that it
is beautiful?
Meryl: For me,
it is blissful, unique and eternal. If you will ask about my eternal belief, I
may say that because life is too short yet there is another life in heaven
above. But I’m not so sure if this is the real meaning of life.
Albert: If you cannot
explain something simply, you do not know it well enough. But I guess the way
you explained life, you have an idea. Because I can see that others are just
wasting their lives by sitting and doing nothing, then after a day they’ll do
it again. Some are doing things which are illegal and not good. It’s just they’re
just wasting time. Any of the choices, still doesn’t fit in living a life. If
people would be still like this, I think progress would not definitely come
along.
Meryl: Well
thank you, Sir. I wish I had a great wisdom just like you.
Albert: Wisdom
is not a product of schooling but a lifelong attempt to acquire it.
Meryl: What do
you mean?
Albert: You need
to learn through experiences and try to evaluate yourself if you learned
something from it.
Meryl: Oh. What
if there are people who can’t see the changes happening to them through those
experiences?
Albert: Simply, they
do not appreciate it. They do not treasure, enjoy and live it the way they can.
Meryl: I guess
that’s a real one fact.
Albert: Yes,
just like the things I have done to my countrymen, I advocate about social
justice just to protect them because I know that if I did that thing, a lot of
people can witness life magnificently longer. If I did that thing, then I am
sure that people would be saving from disaster.
Meryl: Wow! You
really never fail to amaze me with your words.
Albert: Hahaha! It’s
called humanity.
Meryl: I know,
sir.
Albert: Good for
you.
Meryl: Uhmm. Can
I ask you a question please?
Albert: Okay.
What is it?
Meryl: Do you
believe in love?
Albert: Yes,
because science is my first love. Life is also connected with love.
Meryl: SCIENCE?!
Albert: Yes my
dear, why?
Meryl: I was
just surprised with your answer.
Albert: What
about it?
Meryl: I don’t
know. But I guess that’s what makes you a scientist.
Albert: Yes. I
never stop thinking and creating for I love Science. Despite those things, I
never stop also to devote myself in political issues that can led for peace,
freedom and as we talk a while ago, for social justice.
Meryl: WOW! How
I wish that there are still people who think that way.
Albert: Well I
believe that somewhere here in this world, that there are people who are better
than me.
Meryl: I don’t
know what to say, sir. If there are, then I am surely being amaze with them,
too for they have the chance to change the others’ perspective of life.
Albert: I hope
so but remember that everyone is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its
ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is
stupid. So, the people that you
are talking about who can change others may not be effective. Because people
have their options: to be or not to be a better person.
Meryl: That one hits me. Thank you, sir for all the life
lessons. I think the past isn’t the past yet because I am still living the
person I used to be. I have my options now: be a better person or never.
Albert: Yes, the past isn't the past because
the inventions and the science contributions that we had are still alive. Just
kidding but merely a fact, right? Hmm. You are the present and still living for
the past. When memories of the past hit you, it would have an effect to the
present. But never ever think of the future for it will come soon enough.
