I started to get news and articles to my phone,
starting from mid-January about this virus,
and at first, most of the posts are about fear.
Then, because there's a lot of vulnerability, it turns to attack.
Find whoever is responsible, to attack.
Who is not doing a good job? Who was the original one?
But at some point, it has all turned around.
Because people realize attacking doesn't lead to any solution.
It was really interesting for me, because from a certain point, I no longer saw any posts about attack anymore.
And it was all about how people started to come together,
and started to voluntarily do things for each other.
Even if nobody would know.
They started to find something that's within that makes them happy,
and is completely voluntary.
And I showed David and Svava, this morning, a photo...
and it was a doctor with the whole cover of protection, the costume,
and a patient laying on the bed
and they were on the way to do the CT scan...
but they decided just to be there appreciating the sunset together.
In China right now,
you know, China is very famous for the gray sky...
the sky has never been bluer! (Laughter)
Everything has stopped.
Everything is quiet.
The sky is blue.
The people are very still.
They are doing things for each other to help.
They don't do things out of obligations,
or material motives,
and they started to get happy.
And I see that people started to send flowers to this city, Wuhan.
They want to share their gratitude for the doctors in that city.
So, they send flowers voluntarily to the doctors.
And the flowers fill out the whole train.
So, people really get in touch with their gratitude and love for what's going on.
And in Italy I think it is the same way. A lot of us have seen the YouTube and Instagram posts.
People are under quarantine, so they cannot leave their home.
And, being Italians...
They want to join in their plaza,
so they all come out on their balcony and they start to sing to each other.
They suddenly find this simple way to enjoy each other and be in love.
Yeah, it's like when we start to think about productivity and survival...
jobs....
roles...
the busyness of the world,
it's like we forgot this moment.
And then it takes some kind of worldwide disaster
to stop everything,
and say, wait a minute! Maybe we've forgotten the most important thing.
This whole thing that seems to be going on now
is giving the mind and the heart an opportunity
to remember to live
as if there is no tomorrow.
Because none of us is guaranteed a tomorrow!
Why is that so?
Because God didn't invent "tomorrow".
Tomorrow is a make-believe ego idea.
It's hypothetical.
It's assuming there will be a tomorrow.
But, none of us know for sure that there's a tomorrow.
But, we sometimes get so stressful
because we believe tomorrow is more real than today!
And tomorrow is believed to be more real than now!
The ego wants us to eliminate the Now.
To get so busy, so complex
that you lose track of the only moment that you truly have.
