The Sun has released a powerful Bill Gate's Open Letter about what we can learn from the Coronavirus pandemic sweeping the globe.







It is said that as of Monday, the disease has killed more than 16,000 people worldwide and around 370,000 have been infected. 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'.



While on 24th 23:00 Beijing time, The Gates Foundation released a post that this letter is fake and it has been deleted from The Sun.

But even so, a lot of people are moved by this letter and transmitting this letter, including some celebrities. Because no matter whether it is from Bill Gates, it really touches the souls.





Here is the abstract from the "Open Letter"









What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?



"Im 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 toIf you dont 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 dont 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 rolls.





5) It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that its 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 homes and strengthen our family unit.







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 free will 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 difficult that bring out our true colors.



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 that 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*

Yesterday, The Sun has deleted the article and apologized. But who wrote this letter? Why did he use Bill Gate's name as a shied? Why didn't him stand out to show his real name?





But we have to admit that if not by the celebrity's name, we will not have the chance to read such a good letter. Everybody hates fake, but I guess readers will not hate them this time.





Because at least, The Sun offered us one article with hope, comfort in such a special period.
