"Lucky"

Good day, today is the first of May 2020.
So many disruptions and calamities has happened in the first almost half a year of 2020.

The viral one in 2020 is Covid-19. The world, the news outlets and social media are heavily filled by Covid-19 all day all night. By now, Covid-19 has appeared in 212 countries and territories, 3,323,935 cases and 234,417 deaths worldwide. The current death rate is 7%, and worldwide lockdowns, restrictions, businesses collapses, increase of criminal activities, litigations, disputes and societies chaos.

In my perspective, someone has to be quite "lucky" to catch the Covid-19. The current population according to the worldometer website is 7,781,486,601. The current chance of someone catching the virus 0.000427159381 or 0.04%. The Covid-19 cases in Australia to this date is 6,765 compared to Australia population of 25,451,095, the rate of a person to get the Coronavirus is 0.000254016606 or 0.02%. Although the cases rate is low globally, the people who "luckily" got affected by the prevention of Covid-19 is 7.7 billion people almost 100% of the world population.

However, the chance of someone got the Covid-19 is still higher than the probability of someone winning the first prize in the lottery. The odd of someone winning division one in a Saturday lotto for A$ 4 million is 0.00001% the highest one among other lotto games. And someone must be extremely lucky to win Powerball with the probability rate of 0,000001%.

The Tao is infinite, eternal. Why is it eternal? It was never born; thus it can never die. Why is it infinite? It has no desires for itself; thus it is present for all beings. The Master stays behind; that is why she is ahead. She is detached from all things; that is why she is one with them. Because she has let go of herself, she is perfectly fulfilled.

Mother

The bond that a child develops with his mother can never be severed. You grew as an organism inside her for nine months. She carried you and sustained you, sharing her sustenance with you through your umbilical cord. When you are born the cord is severed. It is never severed in her heart. That bond lasts forever. As we grow up we become our own people and may come to forget that woman who nurtured and loved us. But remember this, she will never forget you and never stop loving you. Source:  https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poems/family/mother/ A single mother of three just visited us this week, she is just 25 and she has 5 yo, 2 yo, and 2 months old daughters. There were lots of energy in the house, there were never a quite time on the daytime. Their mother has no time to rest, to nap, to have her me time. My husband said to me, the good thing about being a grandparent is they can return their grandchildrens when they become too much, but not for the parent, the parent can't forsa...

Smile

How to Win Friends and Influence People Dale Carnegie It costs nothing, but creates much. It enriches those who receive, without impoverishing those who give. It happens in a flash and the memory of it sometimes lasts forever. None are so rich they can get along without, and none so poor but are richer for its benefits.  It creates happiness in the home, fosters good will in a business, and is the countersign of friends. It is rest to the weary, daylight to the discouraged, sunshine to the sad, and Nature´s best antidote for trouble. Yet it cannot be bought, begged, borrowed, or stolen, for it is something that is no earthly good to anybody till it is given away.  And if in the last-minute rush of Christmas buying someone should be too tired to give you a smile, maybe we can leave one of ours for them. For nobody needs a smile so much as those who have none left to  give !  give ! https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/23...
