1. An Empty Boat.
A monk decides to meditate alone, away from his monastery. He takes his boat out to the middle
of the lake, moors it there, closes his eyes and begins his meditation. After a few hours of
undisturbed silence, he suddenly feels the bump of another boat colliding with his own.
With his eyes still closed, he senses his anger rising and by the time he opens his eyes, he is ready
to scream at the boatman who dared disturb his meditation.
But when he opens, he sees it's an empty boat that had probably got untethered and floated to the
middle of the lake. At that moment, the monk achieves self-realisation and understands that the
is within him; it merely needs the bump of an external object to provoke it out of him.
From then on, whenever he comes across someone who irritates him or provokes him to anger, he
reminds himself that the other person is merely an empty boat. The anger is within me.
Note. Take time for introspection and search for an answer.. "Empty boat" is a famous and
fabulous metaphor. Its value lies in its implementation.

2. The Italy - Wuhan Connection.
Why did the Corona virus, which originated in Wuhan, China, cause such widespread outbreak in a
country - of a distant continent - like Italy?
The answer is that Italy has a strong textile garment industry trade relations with China especially
Wuhan province. One lakh Chinese workers work in the textile industry (north Italy). Italy, even,
has direct flights to Wuhan.
Northern Italy has a huge Chinese immigrant population, many of whom travelled from Wuhan.
Instead of testing and restricting these people, the Italian authorities launched a 'Hug a Chinese'
campaign in February. They are, now, paying the price. "I'm not a virus. I'm human. Eradicate the
prejudice". This was the message of videos released in northern Italy in February this year, urging
Italians to hug the Chinese people to encourage them in the fight against the Coronavirus.
Moreover, the Chinese New Year 2020 was celebrated from 25 Jan to 08 Feb. So, many of the
Chinese immigrants went home from Italy to Wuhan to celebrate the New Year with their families.
When they returned after leave, they were not tested in Italian airports.
The rest, as they say, is history!

4. Nostradamus wrote this in the year 1551!
"There will be a twin year (2020) from which will arise a queen (corona) who will come from the east (China) and who will spread a plague (virus) in the darkness of night, on a country with 7
hills (Italy) and will transform the twilight of men into dust (death), to destroy and ruin the world.
It will be the end of the world economy as you know it".
