Einstein's wisdom on sale.


 Could you believe that a handwritten letter worded by the Nobel Prize winner in Physics Albert Einstein is going to be sold in EBay? Pretty shocking; and what if I tell you that the letter contains Einstein’s thoughts about the existence of God, religion and tribalism? The starting bid is going to be around the U$ 3 million and a lucky man who possesses that money could be the owner of one of the most crucial statements in history.

Albert Einstein as we all know, is considered to be one the most gifted scientists in history. His contributions are the keystone of modern Physics and was chosen by Times magazine as the most important man of the 20th century. During the first half of last century, his thoughts were considered as a guide in every aspect of human life, and his intellect served as help for science, politics, morality and human relations in general.

So if a man with no other goal than possessing another object for his collection, or filling a space on top of a shelf becomes the owner of that immensely valuable handwriting, I truly believe that the honor and importance of A. Einstein in our life is going to be insulted of outraged. Without considering the content of the piece of paper (because the topic is already really controversial), just for being a paper that contains one more piece of what it was Einstein’s wisdom his value can’t be define by money.
