Wealthy people are called celestials, imagining that their life is completely different from the life of ordinary people with moderate income. On the one hand, there is a grain of truth in this - the "celestials" are not constrained by financial issues, and their aspirations are limited only by their own ambitions. However, the private life of even the wealthiest people consists of exactly the same joys and sorrows as everyone else. Recently, Bill Gates, who for many years was considered the richest man on the planet, published a letter to his father. It found a warm response in the hearts of hundreds of thousands of ordinary people around the world.
Last year, Bill Gates admitted to reporters that his father suffers from Alzheimer's disease. Bill Gates Sr. worked as a lawyer, but with his retirement he had to deal with this terrible disease, for which there is still no cure. “It feels like you see how the personality of the person you know is gradually dying right in front of your eyes,” the creator of Microsoft shares his impressions.
Even with every possible means, Bill Gates found himself helpless in the face of his father's illness. To somehow get things off the ground, the billionaire donated $ 100 million to research in the hope that scientists will be able to find a way to cure this disease. “This is a terrible disease that hurts both those who have it and those who are close to them and love them,” says Bill Gates of his decision to donate such a large amount. “People need to be able to enjoy their final years of life, and we need to find a way to cure Alzheimer's to make that possible. I am glad to join this struggle and really want to see where it will lead."
On Father's Day, which was celebrated around the world this Sunday, Bill Gates posted on his Facebook page:
A huge number of comments immediately appeared under this post, in which people expressed their respect, admiration and gratitude. "Mr. Gates, thank you for teaching your son real family values, and that even with unlimited financial resources, he cares not only about himself, but also about those he loves and invests for the benefit of all mankind."
