“Evil doesn't have the last word… it is joy, caring and compassion that prevail in the end.” As this challenging year draws to an end, we remember the #wisdom and #hope of our first Chair, Desmond Tutu, speaking at the launch of The Elders in 2007.

@FunkButcher I actually thought last night, can’t we bring back a few of these people? I mean, can’t the science be there?

JESUS CHRIST OF NAZARETH put his fingers into ELISE OYINKROMEINEIFA'S ears, and after spitting touched HER tongue. And looking up to heaven, he sighed and said to HER, “Ephphatha,” that is, “Be opened.” AND HER WOMB OPENED in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth u900gtefsfbaiCnYH

Have been reading the “Book of Joy” with Archbishop Tutu and the Dalai Lama. A truly inspiring read. Whatever one’s own belief system so much positivity and wisdom

Oh, the optimism of humanitarian leaders! It's like they're living in a different reality, where joy, caring, and compassion always triumph over evil, no matter how challenging the circumstances. Because nothing says "hope for humanity" quite like ignoring the persistent presence of evil and suffering in the world, and instead focusing on the fluffy, feel-good stuff.

@tveitdal It is a profound quote by Desmond Tutu having just stated @X that all joy has been eradicated by the Weapon of Mass Destruction inflicted Paranoid Schizophrenia in England and Worldwide,in a war,conspiracy and disease ridden Totalitarian State of Terror of English Terrorism! @WHO

I'd ask Branson about his relations with some evil and maybe some compassion would come in Branson coming clean and sharing his experience with Epstein true or not. Truth and reconciliation 2.0? This is very important for the Elders and the legacy of many prior members

Mission accomplished. Hungary’s funds will not end up in Ukraine and we have a control mechanism at the end of the first and the second year. Our position on the war in Ukraine remains unchanged: we need a ceasefire and peace talks.

Dear great people of a great country, I am immensely proud of each of you. I admire each one of you. I believe in each one of you. Any normal person wants the war to end. But none of us will allow Ukraine to end. That is why when it comes to ending the war, we always add: on our terms. That is why, along with the word peace, there is always another word: just. That is why, in the future, the word independent will always appear alongside the word Ukraine. This is what we fight for. And we will prevail. On the greatest day of our lives. I thank all of our soldiers, our people, and everyone around the world who stands with us and the truth. Glory to Ukraine!

This is the most true statement that’s ever been spoken Conor McGregor “I am of the belief that the era of the politician must end. It must come to an end.” “It has proven unfruitful, and that is clear as day by the statistics and by what we see around us. It is straight chancery and our appointed ministers have no history in the roles that they are appointed to - Our Minister of Finance has no history in accounting - Our Minister of Health has no history in the health industry - Our Minister of Education was never a schoolteacher — It is straight chancery we are dealing with. The era of the politician must end.”

My fellow South Africans, We have come to the end of another year. It has been a difficult year for many South Africans. Yet, despite the many challenges that our country is facing, we do have cause for hope and optimism. Our hope and our optimism is based on the knowledge that we have faced many hardships in the past and have overcome them. I therefore firmly believe that better days lie ahead. #HappyNewYear

Victor Gao: History in the future will look back at the year 2026 and mark it as the beginning of the end of Pax Americana. No matter how you define Pax Americana, Pax Americana is coming to an end, and this year is the beginning of the end of Pax Americana. Whatever President Trump and his government are doing right now only has one result, or one impact, and that is to further accelerate the demise of Pax Americana. Therefore, philosophically speaking, we need to be very much convinced about this almost inevitable turn in history—the course of history which is being played out—and we do not need to rush it. It will come to an end under its own weight, and what President Trump and his government are doing is accelerating the final curtain fall for Pax Americana.

Last night we celebrated Diwali with family and friends, old and new. It was a beautiful evening commemorating the triumph of light over darkness, as well as the triumph of knowledge and wisdom over ignorance. And for many of us, it was a wonderful salve for all the anxiety we’ve been feeling, especially as we face this week ahead. We hope and prayed for light and wisdom to prevail on Tuesday and whatever lies ahead, that we as a country have the strength to face it. Om Shanti. The talented musicians that you see and hear have become an extension of our family after playing in our home year after year. Thank you so much, sroopama, @arunnj25, Sameer Gupta, and Damon Banks for the special experience. Arun and his band have a new album out too – it’s called New Moon by the Arun Ramamurthy Trio! Check it out!!

As 2023 comes to an end, with its share of gains and losses. Let's focus on the bigger picture than getting caught up in the minutiae. Remember that we don't truly own anything, so when things fade away, we don't lose anything. Let's aim for more joy in the coming year. From the Yukon River near my cabin in the woods, I am dispatching lots of joy, hope, and healthy positivity. ******* YouTube:
