Of course he is not a saint. He is a Jew and very likely thought of as a Jewish saint. But he in not.

He is the leader of Western culture. If I can put it more correctly, he is the external culture leader of the West. This position is more than a saint in the Jewish tradition. Though his scientific theories had been amended and not considered completely correct, but still, he is the center of Western culture. He is widely interested on politics and morals. He is a campaigner for pacifism and human rights. People are all happy about him. Especially when he poked out his tongue for camera, he as a funny and nice old man is widely accepted.

Its only recently people discovered that he was double faced. The behavior in front of the public and inside the family was totally different. He had insisted to divorce his wife, and she was mentally and physically collapsed, leaving behind a pair of sons. His fifteen-year-old elder son hated him and his second son was only six years old and suffered serious mental illness for the rest of his life and died in a painful condition. And he was not loyal to his second wife too. His servants packed the clothes inside his boat to laundry, and his two daughters of his second wife discovered a ladies low cut swimming suit in it.

He is heavily contradicted in and out. Yet, he is the leading figure of the West. To compare with him, Chinese leader Mao Tse Tung was more or less the same. Both are heavily contradicted figures. And that constituted our twentieth century.

Details are published in a book: “The private life of Albert Einstein” by Roger Highfield and Paul Carter, St. Martin’s Press, New York, 1994.
