今天英國《太陽報》 刊登了比爾蓋茨的公開信，這封信得到極大關(guān)注，得到很多人轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)赞草，人們稱贊比爾蓋茨是真正的智者，并有人第一時間就把他的公開信翻譯成中文吆鹤。下面是比爾蓋茨的信內(nèi)容。
我堅信發(fā)生的每一件事后面都有一個精神層面的目的洲守，無論我們認為是好還是壞疑务。
當我沉思時，我想與大家分享我的心得梗醇，新冠病毒究竟對我們做了些什么知允。
1) 病毒提醒我們，人都是平等的叙谨，無論我們的文化温鸽、宗教、職業(yè)、經(jīng)濟狀況涤垫，或是一個人有多么出名姑尺。在病毒眼中我們都是平等的，也許我們也應該平等對待他人蝠猬。如果你不相信我的話切蟋，那就去問湯姆·漢克斯。
2) 病毒提醒我們榆芦，我們的命運都是聯(lián)在一起的柄粹，影響一個人的事情同時也會影響另一個人。病毒也提醒我們匆绣，我們建立的虛假國境線毫無價值驻右，因為病毒并不需要護照。病毒還提醒我們崎淳，雖然我們暫時受到壓迫堪夭，世界上還有人一生都受到壓迫。
3) 病毒提醒我們凯力，健康多么珍貴茵瘾。而我們卻忽視健康，吃垃圾食品咐鹤，喝被各種化學品污染的水拗秘，如果我們不照顧自己，我們當然就會生病祈惶。
4) 病毒提醒我們雕旨，生命苦短，什么是我們應該做的最重要的事情捧请，特別是那些已經(jīng)生病的老年人凡涩。人生在世的目的不是買一卷卷的廁紙。
5) 病毒提醒我們疹蛉，我們的社會已經(jīng)變得物質(zhì)至上活箕，當我們遇到困難時，我們才想起我們的基本需求是食物可款、飲水和藥品育韩，而不是并沒有什么價值的奢侈品。
6) 病毒提醒我們闺鲸，家庭是何等重要筋讨，但我們卻忽視了這一點。病毒強迫我們回到我們的房子里摸恍，所以我們可以把房子建成家庭悉罕，并建立牢固的家庭紐帶。
7) 病毒提醒我們，我們真正的工作并不是我們打的那份工壁袄，我們固然需要打工类早，然而上帝創(chuàng)造我們的目的并不是讓我們打工。我們真正的工作是互相照顧然想、互相保護莺奔、互助互利。
8) 病毒提醒我們变泄，我們不能妄自尊大令哟。病毒還提醒我們，無論你覺得自己多偉大妨蛹，也無論別人覺得你多么偉大屏富，一個小小的病毒就能讓整個世界停擺。
9) 病毒提醒我們蛙卤，自由掌握在我們自己手中狠半。我們可以選擇合作互助、分享颤难、付出神年、互相支持，或者我們也可以選擇自私行嗤、囤積和自顧自已日。只有在困難的時候才能看出一個人的真面目。
10) 病毒提醒我們栅屏，我們既可以耐心飘千，也可以恐慌。我們既可以理解這種情況在歷史上已經(jīng)發(fā)生過多次栈雳，但最后都過去了护奈，我們也可以恐慌，以為世界末日到了哥纫，結(jié)果傷害了我們自己霉旗。
11) 病毒提醒我們，疫情既是結(jié)束也是開始蛀骇。我們現(xiàn)在可以反省和理解奖慌，從錯誤里吸取教訓。疫情也可以是一個輪回的開始松靡，而且還會繼續(xù)下去，直至我們吸取教訓為止建椰。
12) 病毒提醒我們雕欺，我們的地球病了。病毒還提醒我們，我們必須看到森林消失的速度屠列，也必須看到一卷卷廁紙從貨架上消失的速度啦逆。我們都病了，因為我們的家庭病了笛洛。
13) 病毒提醒我們夏志，困難總會過去，然后就容易了苛让。生活是周期性的沟蔑，現(xiàn)在只是周期里的一個階段。我們不必恐慌狱杰，疫情一定會過去瘦材。
14) 許多人認為新冠病毒的疫情是一場災難，但我覺得這是一次“偉大的糾錯”仿畸。
下面是《太陽報》刊登的原文：
MICROSOFT founder Bill Gates has released a powerful message about what we can learn from the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe.
As of Monday, the disease has killed more than 16,000 people worldwide and around 370,000 have been infected.
But multi-billionaire Gates, 64 - who donated ￡85 million to combat the virus last month - believes that despite the chaos, there is 'a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens'.
In an open letter, entitled 'What is the?Corona/ Covid-19 Virus?Really Teaching us?', he wrote:
'A SPIRITUAL PURPOSE'
"I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.
"As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us.
1)?It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to食棕，If you don’t believe me, just ask?Tom Hanks.
2)?It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another.
It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport.
It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.
3)?It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals.
If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.
4)?It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick.
Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.
5)?It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine) as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.
6)?It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this.
It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit.
'OUR TRUE WORK'
7)?It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do.
Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.
8)?It is reminding us to keep our egos in check.
It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are, a virus can bring our world to a standstill.
9)?It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands.
We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only our self.
Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colours.
10)?It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic.
We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.
11)?It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning.
This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.
12)?It is reminding us that this Earth is sick.
It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick.
13)?It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease.
Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.
14)?Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a *great corrector*
It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.
