近日，英國《太阳报》 刊登了比尔盖茨的公开信，这封信得到极大关注，得到很多人转发，人们称赞比尔盖茨是真正的智者，并有人第一时间就把他的公开信翻译成中文。下面是比尔盖茨的信。
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.
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. If you don’t believe me， just ask Tom Hanks.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
