Susan Boyle astounded the world with her breathtaking rendition of “I Dreamed A Dream” on “Britain’s Got Talent” because she looked like a dreary housewife, not a superstar. Well this time, nobody expected such an incredible voice could come from 9-year-old Amira Willighagen. This girl is definitely on her way to stardom.
Hailing from Nijmegen, Holland, Amira taught herself to sing entirely from watching YouTube tutorials. When she sang her soul-stirring rendition of Puccini’s “O Mio Babbino Caro” from the opera “Gianni Schicchi” she blew everyone away and even earned bows from one of the judges.

When Einstein’s 16 year old daughter died, he was asked how he can ‘handle’ such a thing. Einstein’s response was:
“A human being is a part of the whole, called by us “Universe,” a part limited in time and space.
He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us.
Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.
Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security.”
.
“A human being is part of the whole” is the correct statement. No man is an island. Absolute individuality does not exist. Search for individuality will only end up in the prison of a lonely ego.
“Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison…”
Physics and metaphysics come together for the person who is free from this prison. .
