wisdom 2 correction

[thana ag]

Actually I was thinking more of the way he acted towards one of his sons who was most of his life hospitalized, leaving the financial and emotional burden  of caring for him   to his wife (#1),who could not pursue her scienticfic ambitions:the way their  first born child was given away for an adoption,the remarkeable lack of empathy displayed to those near him-while feeling totally entitled to be supported by them.:No acknowledgement given to his first wife who apparrently was helpful in formulation of his theory,though they  agreed  in their divorce papers that if he gets a Nobel Prize she will receive the money,which apparently she did not...(according to one source).
 In marriage #2 ,he was not quote sure whether to marry his cousin or  her daughter,and was very blunt about it,which the cousin whom he eventually married accepted (??) as being married to Herr  Proff  Einstein  was quite an accomplishment.However he laid out  clearly the rules and limitations of the arrangement,which wife #1 refused to accept. 
Of course,one may say that if he was not arranging his life's curcumstances to support his genius,we might've not enjoyed the famous quotations...

Ah, now here you anticipate my point, so we fall more into alignment.  so to Anath and peter too... 
 
    As to Einstein's story... what's it like to share along with a significant number of people the experience of being married to a person in an era in which divorce was a scandal? It was clear he didn't enjoy his wife, but not clear whether he had reasons for feeling that way. (What was their tele?  For many people it's not just mixed, but drifts into the negative, alas.)

 Peter,Sorry,got few emails asking for clarifications: I meant Albert Einstein.Though quite a bit of similarity here to J.L.Moreno,some of it gleaned from personal  encounters., some from stories of other students,etc... It was terribly important for me  while in Beacon, to not mix the message with the messanger,who by virtue of being human had legs of clay as the rest of us.As for Albert Einstein-how horrible it must be to have such incredible intellectual understanding and inability to experience it on a personal level.But did he suffer,or just those around him?anath p.s. I like your cheers!!!

I wasn't aware of this side of his nature but I have generally only read science related articles a so far no biographies.

When you first wrote it I thought you sere talking about JL Moreno and some of his less than empathetic responses to folks he had loved over his lifetime. As related in his biography or by his biographer - I can't remember if it was in print or in discussions..

Cheers
