      I met someone from the same country as me while on the street and he felt compelled to help out. Took me to his place to shower and shave, introduced me to others who are also from the same country as us. Some of them also wanted to help and they chipped in to get me a room. Then they made a few calls to see anyone was looking for staff. Someone needed a cook. It was quite quick to be honest :) thank you for asking.

      I mean, in my opinion we won't and even if we could - why? DMT is a helluva drug and the Human Pineal Gland is one of the best producers of it. However and that being said, the atoms that make up the corporeal body, of which the atoms that constitute the psyche - while being a clear product of said body and as a direct consequence of that fact constitute a direct producer of the soul, are as one. The soul, as a direct biological and chemical event/reaction/process rather than an unknown metaphysical mystery, will die and decompose as we all must. Following this event? Everything that constitutes my body, both biological in nature and even the base inorganic carbon will be repurposed to create and support more life, in the furtherance of life. In that respect? Metaphorically nobody ever really completely dies and quite literally we all are one. I don't need a reward for not punching myself in the face. Though when I do punch myself in the face the pain I experience is both the reward and punishment I was searching for. If we have ears, do we hear, if we have eyes, do we see? For those with eyes, let them see. For those with ears, let them hear. Best wishes.

      According Zen philosophy and some studies about how the brain works a healthy person must be "centered" in emotions. As empathic persons is normal if we share fillings, but be affected in that way can't be healthy because you won't have the capacity to use the right emotion at the right moment. A healthy person isn't always sad neither happy, a healthy person is just in a normal mood the most of the time.

      @thelouisfanclub 8 років тому +36

      ...So a "healthy person" can't appreciate strong emotions, can't react to art? I don't give a shit about Zen philosophy. In Africa we show emotion: we cry when we are sad, we dance when we are happy, sometimes both at the same time, because emotions are not clear cut.

    I want people to understand that this song is not about her or merely about being happy. This was written by Nina specifically and metaphorically a song for black people, she began by describing the status of black people in society especially in those times of the 60s and 70 who were fighting and facing harsh realities of stereotypes, abuse and racism. Blacks were viewed as and treated as the people who 'ain't got no [insert numerous stereotypes word]' which she mentioned in the beginning of the song and then she responds with the virtues of what (we the blacks do have) and still have even after all was taken, restricted, raped and denied of us. She highlights that we the black people. We have our freedom! You are no longer slaves, we are free. We have soul, health, joy, stamina and eternal virtues no one can ever take from us (despite the fact they tried to take it all from us, 'we still have') despite the labels placed on us, despite the discrimination, racism and the things we have endured and have had taken from us and deprived of us we indeed and infact actually still have all the things that truely matter. The things which cannot be taken; Our power, our dignity, our joy, our rhythm, our soul, our life (spiritually and physical)...etc

      @@billybones2521 You're incorrect. This song was written and composed by Nina Simone and was only officially recorded in 1968 by RCA Records. In those times it was very common for people to sing one another's others songs what we call 'cover' today. However the author of this particular song is infact Nina Simone.

      KimiDesu why do people chose to believe that satan does not exist? The bible made it clear that satan and demons are fighting to make people not to believe the bible so that when they die, they would end up in hell.
      Many muslims said that they saw JESUS physically but that they could not see his face and became christians. If they are lying, why would they lie and put themselves in danger of being killed for leaving islam. Because muhammed the founder of Islam commanded muslims to kill other muslims who leave their religion.
      many people including muslims became christians after JESUS appeared to them, search for (zaheed former muslim priest dramatic conversion to CHRIST) on youtube or click the link to the youtube video here m.ua-cam.com/video/EhJGUHkFKuU/v-deo.html and see a 7 minutes video of a muslim who said that JESUS appeared to him in his room.
      after that search for ( JESUS save dini an indonesian muslim part4) on youtube or click the link to the youtube video m.ua-cam.com/video/fGO9KmwQ6WU/v-deo.html while you are watching it skip to the 3:20 minutes of the video and see a muslim woman who said that JESUS appeared to her in her room physically and told her to follow him which means to become a christian.
      After that, Search for (Former Muslim Fatimah Saw Jesus Eye-to-Eye & Heard His Final Gospel!) on youtube or click the link to the youtube video here m.ua-cam.com/video/rBctdMqClYI/v-deo.html and hear the testimony of a woman who said that JESUS healed her of 3 different incurable diseases and also healed her mother and after that, from the 23:50 minutes in the video, she said that he appeared to her in her kitchen in the form of a bright light and that the background of her kitchen changed to a glorious place as if she was in heaven, after she had prayed to him to show himself to her the way he appeared and showed himself to apostle Paul from the bible. and that she heard a voice from the bright light read to her john1:1 from the bible. Even that was not enough to convince her that JESUS is GOD. Until she prayed and said, no i want to see you physically and few other prayer words she spoke, then in that glorious beautiful bright light, she saw JESUS and many more wonders and miracles to the end of the video.

      Getloud now Search for (The Wicked Music Industry (Full Documentary) on youtube or click the link to the video here m.ua-cam.com/video/HarwRm29UkQ/v-deo.html and see a 58 minutes video about the truth behind music industry and see how the celebrities themselves are confessing that satan is the one who owns the music industry and many more demonic rituals and human sacrifices that are going on in secret in the music industry and How each celebrity must take part in it and continue to make music that promotes sin in order for satan to continue to give them temporary riches and fame. Which it against the bible.
      Please warn everyone against this and share the videos to others to warn them to stay away from these celebrities and all their songs and to repent of all their other sins which includes sexual immorality, drugs, drinking, partying, smoking, tattoos, cursing, pride, violence, gossip, slander, greed, covetousness, lie, stealing, robbery, fornication, adultery, must not commit incest; which is, unlawful and forbidden sexual relations between siblings, or other close relatives. prejudice, injustice, cheating people, fraud, disobedience to parents, must not disrespect, curse, nor insult one’s parents, nor one’s elders. worldliness, magic, witchcraft, necromancy, idolatry, vanity, not helping others, not giving to the needy, murder which includes abortion and birth control. and believe in Jesus and beg him in prayer to be their lord and savior and forgive their sins, so that they would not enter hell fire after death and be thrown into the lake of fire together with satan and demons to be destroyed and separated from God forever.
      And then as written in the bible, they will then be given everlasting life in heaven and the new indescribable, beautiful, Heavenly earth after all sinners had been wiped out of the earth, and the earth had been destroyed with fire by God to purge out all the evils and abominations that had been committed on it, then God will transform the earth into paradise where all holy people of God and Jesus will live forever in happiness. The bible went on and said, there shall be no more sorrow, pain, hunger, thirst, sickness, crying, suffering and death only everlasting happiness With God and Jesus for the bible said that God himself will come down to that new earth and fix his thrown on that Heavenly earth to live with all holy people who believed in Jesus forever.
      The new Heaven and the new earth will be full of indescribable blessings, glory and beauty. Streets of gold, etc.
      According to the bible, God does not forgive sin unless there is a payment for the sin and the payment is death. For the bible said, the soul that sins shall die.
      And all the good deeds of a person cannot cover up his one single bad deed. The person will end up in hell fire after death. It is only through Jesus that sins are forgiven because he is the only son of God who came to the earth in human form to pay for our sins his own life, by suffering, being whipped, bled, was nailed to the cross and died on the cross for our sins and was buried. But on the third day after His death, God his father raised him up from the dead and he ascended back go heaven and sat at the right hand side of God his father.
      So that was how Jesus paid for our sins with his own life because of his love and mercy for mankind and also the love and mercy of his father for mankind.
      Please don’t mix all these everlasting blessings that God has prepared for the holy christians. Please repent of sinning and come to Jesus now for after death it is too late

      TunisianPartisan secular music is demonic. Because it does not glorify God. God created us to be worshipping him with music and song that glorify him. The first songs ever sung was in heaven. And it was spiritual songs that glorify God.
      The first humans Adam and Eve worshipped God with songs that glorified God.

      To say that the majority of America was not racist at this time is pretty problematic. There were the KKK, Jim Crow Laws that were close to the South African Apartheid, and media that still perpetuated attitudes of ethnocentrism, the idea that one's culture is better than others. Not to say that every American citizen at this time was racist; but forgetting all these factors is essentially erasing the hard work that artists like Simone had to do to overcome these barriers.

      This is my favourite version of this song I’ve heard. I’ve got a cd of her greatest hits at home and this song is included but it’s faster paced and shorter (just over 2 minutes I think) and I think this song is meant to be played slower like in this video. Don’t get me wrong it’s still good but I just prefer this version.
