“Eyes of Heaven
To see through the eyes of heaven
is to look upon your fellow man
and only see the good in him.”

“A few years after I gave some lectures for the freshmen at Caltech (which were published as the Feynman Lectures on Physics), I received a long letter from a feminist group. I was accused of being anti-women because of two stories: the first was a discussion of the subtleties of velocity, and involved a woman driver being stopped by a cop. There's a discussion about how fast she was going, and I had her raise valid objections to the cop's definitions of velocity. The letter said I was making the women look stupid.
The other story they objected to was told by the great astronomer Arthur Eddington, who had just figured out that the stars get their power from burning hydrogen in a nuclear reaction producing helium. He recounted how, on the night after his discovery, he was sitting on a bench with his girlfriend. She said, "Look how pretty the stars shine!" To which he replied, "Yes, and right now, I'm the only man in the world who knows how they shine." He was describing a kind of wonderful loneliness you have when you make a discovery.
The letter claimed that I was saying a women is incapable of understanding nuclear reactions.
I figured there was no point in trying to answer their accusations in detail, so I wrote a short letter back to them: "Don't bug me, Man!”

“The Wonderful Wonder Between the 'Onenesses' [10w] + [10w] + [10w] + [10w]
If you can imagine time running backwards, death becomes birth;
The moment before conception, becomes our oneness with the universe.
Therefore, we shouldn't fear death because oneness returns to oneness;
The wonder that happens between these onenesses is God's gift.”
