Bonjour à tous

Cet article n'est pas très "culturel" mais j'avoue que je ne savais pas trop où le mettre ! 

On va dire que c'est la culture du moment 

Certains d'entre vous m'envoient leurs devoirs accompagnés de petites phrases qui en disent long sur le moral des troupes... Je sais que cette période est difficile, elle est difficile pour tout le monde mais il ne faut pas se laisser abattre ! Et, au lieu de voir tout ce qui est négatif dans ce confinement forcé... essayons de regarder le positif des choses et de relativiser. Je suis tombée hier sur un dialogue de Bill Gates, intitulé "Qu'est-ce-que le Corona Virus nous enseigne-t-il réellement" ? Il m'a fait beaucoup de bien et j'espère qu'il agira de même avec vous ! 

Je vous le retranscris ici, en Anglais of course, et vous demande de le traduire. Sans l'aide de monsieur Google Traduction, comme de bien entendu !!! Vous avez 15 jours 

A message from Bill Gates, Words of Wisdom

What is the Corona virus really teaching 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 desease  treats us all equally, perhaps we should to.

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 like soda etc... If we don't look after our health we will, of course, get very 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 and clear up the shelves without thinking of others.

 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 luxurious that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.

 6) It is reminding us of how important our family and our 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.

 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 as our grand parents did, 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 shoose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only ourself. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true color.

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 continu 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 Virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a great corrector in our lives. 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...
