MO. Please tell the Doctor for the Soul we need him to come to south Africa!. You too. I was a diplomat and my first posting was to Cairo. Stayed in Maadi and worked in Giza. The powerhouse of North Africa and we the powerhouse in the south!. Visit us. Get to know us and see how far we have come because Palestine will follow in our footsteps. See the future of Palestine...

When bad things happen in life I say, “and this too shall pass”, and when things are going extra well I say, “and this too shall pass”. I just make sure that am enjoying living in the moment.

M. Youssef, what you say and your positions have an impact and resonate with millions ... please keep up and things will end up by changing because, as you said, everything is temporary ...

Deep. Compelling. Provokes introspective thought. Brilliant. Thank you.

This format is way better, Mo, more human, I mean, interacting directly. I am very grateful to have discovered you two months ago. You give me clarity, and I really wish we could connect on another dimension philosophically, because I totally resonate with your thoughts.
