24.01.2022 An inspiration to all business people

13.01.2022 This was sent to me this morning by my friend who lives in Lyon France. It was written by an Italian writer in confinement due to the virus. My friend sent it i...n French so I used Google Translate to translate it to English. Like many of our friends in Europe, he hopes this will help us be prepared for what is coming. Please take the time to read the words that this thoughtful person took the time to write for our benefit. Here is the note: Italian writer Francesca Melandri writes from Rome, where she has been confined since March 9. Daily upset, reinvented social life, heightened anxiety his country experienced it before we got into it too. "I am writing to you from Italy, so I am writing to you from your future. We are now where you will be in a few days. The curves of the epidemic show us embraced in a parallel dance in which we find ourselves a few steps ahead of you on the timeline, just as Wuhan was compared to us a few weeks ago. We see that you behave as we have behaved. You have the same discussions as those we had a short time ago, between those who still say "all these stories for what is just a little more than a flu", and those who have already understood. From here, from your future, we know for example that when they tell you to stay confined to your home, some will quote Foucault, then Hobbes. But very early on you will have much more to do. Above all, you will eat. And not just because cooking is one of the few things you can do. On social networks, groups will be born which will make proposals on how we can pass the time usefully and informatively; you’ll sign up for everyone and after a few days you won’t be able to. You'll take Camus Plague off your shelves, but find that you don't really want to read it. You will eat again. You will sleep poorly. You will wonder about the future of democracy. You will have an irresistible social life, between aperitifs on chats, group meetings on Zoom, dinners on Skype. You will miss your adult children as never before, and you will be punched in the stomach by the thought that, for the first time since they left home, you have no idea when you will see them again. Old disputes, old antipathies will appear to you unimportant. You will call to find out how they are doing to people you swore they would never see again. Many women will be hit in their homes. You will wonder how it is for those who cannot stay at home, because they do not have a house. You will feel vulnerable when you go shopping on empty streets, especially if you are a woman. You will wonder if that is how societies collapse, if it really happens so quickly, you will not allow yourself to have such thoughts. You will go home, and you will eat. You will gain weight. You will search the Internet for fitness videos. You will laugh, you will laugh a lot. There will come out a dark, sarcastic humor to hang himself. Even those who always take everything seriously will be fully aware of the absurdity of life. You will meet in the queues organized outside the stores, to meet the friends in person - but at a safe distance. Everything you don't need will be clear to you. You will be revealed with absolute evidence the true nature of the human beings around you: you will have as many confirmations as surprises. Great intellectuals who until yesterday had pontificated on everything will no longer have words and will disappear from the media, some will take refuge in some intelligent abstractions, but which will lack the least breath of empathy, so that you will stop listening to them . On the contrary, people whom you had underestimated will prove to be pragmatic, reassuring, solid, generous, clairvoyant. Those who invite to consider all this as an opportunity for planetary rebirth will help you broaden the perspective, but will bother you terribly, too: the planet is breathing because of the reduction in CO2 emissions, but you, at the end of the month, how are you going to pay your gas and electricity bills? You will not understand if witnessing the birth of the world of tomorrow is something grand, or miserable. You will make music on the balconies. When you saw the videos where we were singing opera, you thought "ah! Italians , but we know that you too will sing the Marseillaise. And when you too will throw I Will Survive at full speed, we will look at you nodding, as from Wuhan, where they were singing on the balconies in February, they looked at us. Many will fall asleep thinking that the first thing they will do as soon as they get out is to get a divorce. Lots of children will be conceived. Your children will take the courses online, will be unbearable, will give you joy. Elders will disobey you, like teenagers; you’ll have to argue to keep them from going outside, getting the virus and dying. You will try not to think about those who die in solitude in hospitals. You will want to throw rose petals to the medical staff. You will be told how united society is in a common effort, and that you are all on the same boat. It will be true. This experience will forever change your perception of individuals. Class membership will still make a big difference. Being locked in a house with a terrace and garden or in a crowded popular building: no, it's not the same thing. And it will not be the same as being able to work at home or see your work lost. This boat on which you will be together to defeat the epidemic will hardly seem to be the same for all, because it is not and never has been. At some point, you will realize that it is really hard. You will be afraid. You will talk about it to those who are dear to you, or else you will keep the anxiety in you, so that they do not carry it. You will eat again. This is what we tell you about Italy about your future. But it’s a prophecy of small, very small coasting: just a few days. If we look to the distant future, the one unknown to you and unknown to us, then we can only tell you one thing: when everything is finished, the world will no longer be what it was.
