May the New Year bring wisdom, peace, good health and prosperity to all.
May we transform hatred, fear and anger so problems like racism, the use of government sponsored torture, the rise of self-centered nationalism, vast disparity in wealth, religion based hatred and strife and epidemic disease, fuel an ever-increasing expression of loving kindness, compassion and joy in the good things that come to others.
May there be a general recognition that the purveyors of selfishness, fear and hatred should not lead.
