Asking Hunter-Gatherers Life's Toughest Questions

- The Hadza Tribe or Hadzabe are a remote African Tribe of Hunter-Gatherers in African country of Tanzania. A few months ago, I was lucky to enough to be able to join them on a hunt to baboons. We didn't catch any, so we decided to return to try again. Right before raiding the baboon camp, I took a quiet moment to ask Soloco, the tribe's leader some of life's deepest questions. These were his responses.

who gets to eat the baboons brains? cause everyone knows thats the best part ......
If you could ask again about the stars, ask them in a way they might understand, ask what do they think the stars are, why they are there. Ask about the planets, ask them if they see the stars that move and why they thing they move, a better person to ask might be an elder. Of course I could be wrong about them and they might of understud the question but it's worth a shot to ask again

It has more wisdom than you think.
A Zen master was once asked what enlightenment was.
He responded "When hungry, eat. When tired, sleep."
Another Story.
A monk said to the master, “Please teach me.”
The master said, “Have you eaten your rice?”
The monk said, “Yes, I have?”
The master said, “Wash your bowl.”
The monk was enlightened.
How complex is our life today it seems unnatural to me that we are separating ourselves from nature and natural way of living..
To me it was way more thought provoking than any religious sermon I ever attended, they always got the most ridiculous answers with no logic to back up their beliefs but this guy was so much more logical when he said Moon means nothing to him but can get quite annoying at times, that he truly don't know where the dead go cause u can never know unless you are dead
I once asked some Mayan people, who had *very* few material posessions, what was their most valued possession, and they agreed it was their machete. I asked them what they would do if someone stole their machete, and they wondered why anyone would steal a machete, because 'everybody has one'.

Maslow's Pyramid is a good explanation for this difference in worldviews. When you're busy in one tier of needs like safety, food, and community you're not really bothered by stuff like "what's the meaning of life" and self-actualization. In a way that might seem peaceful to us, but I think most of us can't even imagine the hardships of survival.
I was thinking the same thing while listening. It also made me a little sad for our city lives. We have complicated everything, making problems because we don't have to face the most basic one (generally speaking) - at least not how this tribe does.
Of course, you're asking a philosophical question to the jong hunters of the tribe. In many cultures, life and raising children come first. Reflection later. Many so-called primitive tribes use a system of initiation to spread knowledge. The fact that this group of hunters can't answer these questions doesn't mean the village elders don't have a very different answer. The same is true for western culture. There are tons of western people who don't really consider questions like this. Doesn't mean that no one does.
Well said my friend, I appreciate your reflection @@rudilambert1065
Agreed. I've seen enough Alone to know I wouldn't last a week outside civilization. Ive always thought it would be so interesting to meet a version of yourself that had grown up in a tribe, like a long lost twin or something. Just to see how much culture shaped you into completely different entities.
Tbh at first I hoped they would give some deep spiritual insights in their beliefe and on the world. You know like from tales that you hear from natives all over the world or old mystic tribes.
After watching the video back then I was kind of disappointed and how simple their answers were like "What happens after death?" and they say "We burry the dead and go on".
Now, some years later, I finally understood that they in fact gave a very deep insight on their world view and while they've put it very simple and basic, at it's core it's truely very calm and taoistic.
They are the happiest when they have meat. But why? It feeds them, their family and their tribe. It makes them feel good. It gives them strength to continue and it gives them hope that in the future they will get meat again.
They are the happiest when they have meat because of the value it has and the happiness it brings them and their friends. Because they share it, because they got it together. Because they achieved a goal. It is a reward for hard work. It is a reward for continuing.
They don't question too much, why even should they? They are already happy when they have meat.

I’m sure it was due to interpreting it literally. It’s like asking a child, “what are you most afraid of?” and the child replies with, “ghosts” (or “monsters”). There are less cultural nuances.
@@dadduorp for sure. I was thinking more in the lines of “feeling inadequate in my career”, or “not being a good father and husband”. But “lions” takes the cake lol.
The only reason this isn't your answer is because you don't have to face off with lions.
Its so wholesome that they refer him as "friend"

Not to mention that fake animal skin what animal is that even from 🤔. They are definitely not village people village people look like they've been thru hell and back and probably have bones made of steel 🤣🤣.

@@amineidir5021 what?
I heard that modern hunter-gatherers are not very representative in evaluating how our ancestors lived. Because they are pushed to more scarce regions, while our ancestors tended to live in more abundant regions.
This guy was probably expecting questions on how to prepare food or hunting tactics or things he's learned over the years that benefit him in life. Then the guy starts asking about the moon and stuff. You can see how confused he is that anyone would care
Exactly
Not really. In the past, the moon and the stars had mythologies made of them. And they were used for navigation purposes. The hunter was probably expecting something along those lines.
@@EBSJones4 probably not. They are living a paleolithic life. More primitive than society. Feel their lifestyle hasn't changed much from 10,000 B.C.
@@joeo8958 That'd be true if these were uncontaminated isolated peoples. They are not. Their culture has had plenty of contact with the modern world through the ages. A more accurate view might be interviewing those cannibals on that island in the Indian Ocean as they're truly isolated. Of course this would be unwise for many reasons...
@@tritonlandscaping1505 the sentinel(spelling) people... they are wicked. Kill anyone who are within arrow distance
I know it seems like their answers are simplistic and you could even see them as anti-intellectual but you have to understand that philosophy and pondering our place in the universe or life after death doesn't mean much when you're hungry, thirsty, and have to worry about apex predators killing you. They have no time to figure out life's greatest mysteries, they have to survive and ensure their families do too.
They don't care about anything.
They just want to kill the goddamn baboons
Besides, they've got the bare necessities of life and they all seem quite happy, and that is seriously the dream
I was thinking the same thing
Stop with the fake deep shit it’s cringe
That's one thing he missed: why are they sharing their food with each other? Why have children? What happens if someone is too sick to hunt, can they have some of the food until they get better? I think these kinds of questions would point at some meaning in their life and their experiences with starvation. Belief in an afterlife isn't the only possible meaningful thing.
I love how fast he answers, his mind is sharp as a razor blade, i also love how he stares at nothing thinking "man this guy is wasting my time" lmao
Yeah that guy had baboons to kill. All these silly questions about the moon and the meaning of life when there are baboons on the cliff!
That was my impression as well. He was bored with this type of questioning. Also, I believe questions should have been formulated with the simplicity of their life style in mind. E.g. Question about “obstacles” - like they have that word in their everyday language. Also asking “what the moon means to you”.. I mean, seriously? The man just shared a life philosophy with you: meat, honey and water. What else there is to talk about? 🙃
@@predrag7608 exactly!! Also they were quite polite about it, another person would have just walked off
In their culture it's not common to make eye contact, that's why africans often stare into a certain direction when talking to you
yeah staring at peoples eyes when talking is rude in most cultures and looking away / down shows that you are thinking about whats being said
I like how he's able to see the baboons from really far away. Gives me a glimpse into his high hunting skill.
When you live in the wild, your sight and hearing are developed in order to hunt, I can not hear almost anything and they would hear the footfall of a baboon that is quite far away That is the difference between a city person who is constantly exposed to noise and visual information and someone who lives in nature.
I wish they didn’t see the baboons.
@@clod8 but they would starve otherwise
high hunting skill = throw rocks and scream at the dogs
@@honigfna3551 I think these guys are some crazy rogue males, kicked out of their village.
Traditional hunter gathers share food and know the plants.
These guys eat like frat boys only meat and candy (honey). Zero religious feeling. I looked up the tribe and they do have interesting beliefs and perspectives not like these guys.
There's something profound in the apparent simplicity and tangible nature of their answers. Perhaps some of it was lost in translation, I do not know. But it seems that the meaning of life is simply to live, or to obtain the necessities things for life to sustain itself. And they admit what they do not know (i.e. what happens after death) and don't appear troubled by it as I'm guessing that it's simply not a priority. This is quite different from armchair philosophy or endless pondering, which only those with more time on their hands can afford themselves. They seem rooted in the concrete matters of living in the present moment or near future.
Then I assume you'd be willing to do great evils to remain alive on earth, if that's the goal. Further I wouldn't expect you to risk or sacrifice your life for anyone. You sure the hell never would've lied to the Nazis to hide Jews. Am I right? Because why put your life in danger? Survival is the ultimate goal right?
@@user-8sm2iv7sm1of0vu Lmao. You're right. It's overused as hell. I could've just as easily used other examples from history, but the odds are very high that the person I'm replying to at least knows who the Nazis were, and knows about people hiding Jews...which is whats important. I want to be understood. I want to provide clear support for my point. It's perfectly useful for my argument.
They see ghosts and think the dead go to the Sun, but that was only mentioned briefly. I think the translator is only making basic translations.
@@indriddragon the lack of religiosity in a person or tribal grouping doesn't mean that they are incapable of philanthropy. people can be "good" without expecting anything in return.
They ask them *what is the meaning of life*
They interpreted it as *what does it take to be alive*
Of cause, apart from air, you would need food and just like air, the next one is more important that the last. I don't think these people has time to think of the meaning of life.
When asked what is most meaningful, he answers with food. Every day he wakes up and has to eat, and that food isn't guaranteed. That's his daily mission.
We in civilization search for meaning in our lives because we've got our food situation under control (for now). Now we have more time to get other stuff done. When food, water, and shelter is pretty much figured out for you and relatively accessible, you have a lot more time to sit around and think. Do that for 10,000+ years, you can really start to make some magic happen.
But then it gets more and more complicated to grasp any meaning in your life.
It really puts the rise of religion into context. Free up some time by developing agriculture, and suddenly you have time to think and fear things beyond not having something to eat for your next meal.
Surplus activity, surplus humans
@@ColdCrushKlutz if you listen closely one of them mentioned heaven/hell and praying...

That my friend, is Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. It's sort of a prioritization pyramid, when basic needs are met, you can move on to focus and achieve the next set of needs and so on, but the base of the pyramid, the basic needs, must always be met before you can think about anything else.

@@Lillyluvsanime Exactly what I was thinking.
When someone dies We put them deep in a cave and move on. So true. Life moves on. Time doesn’t stop for no one.

U gay bruh
They are just simple, realistic and straightforward, they don't have time for overthinking, they're just living in the present moment
This is more or less how we're biologically wired to live. I mean, can't romanticize it, cause there's a reason we invented all this complicated shit - I certainly can't imagine these people have very long lives. But psychologically, the hunter-gatherer life is probably way more fit for the human mind than office work.
If we do office work long enough, then we might become evolutionarily wired to do that.
Rather, tribes like this do tend to lend themselves to longevity? They certainly aren't developing diabetes, obesity, mental health issues running rampant amongst their population. I don't know, but I personally doubt that they have crime, whatsoever. No police, no police brutality, just one of the basic social groupings which is mostly wiped out today. They're doing a lot better than all the homeless veterans in America, general homeless populace which are shunned from public, either carted off to jail, starved/frozen out, or hiding in small wooded areas with whatever trash they've amassed over time, and even some of the impoverished population.
Our capitalist regime ensures that people may excel far past their typical means of living, ie hunter-gatherer. Complex division of labor, division and specification of industry, it does drive technological progression, yes. But in the manner it is implemented in, it's why this tribe still existing is so remarkable. That their land hasn't been taken and pillaged, population massacred? Is a godsend that they didn't happen to live atop some rich oil fields of some sort. It's happened, and happens, and America existing set in motion, set precedent, or directly benefits from all of it.
Don't rage against the boredom of office work when the society we uphold every moment of every day says that people can literally die of thirst if they don't have the money for purchase of water, starve if they may not afford food, and freeze to death and die due to lack of shelter. We are not a poor nation, we have a defense budget of world conquest proportions, and give our Friend in the Middle East 38 Billion USD every 10 years to wage a colonization against an indigenous people (mostly children by population at this point, as they've already bombed off the earth most of the parents). We can afford to feed these people, we can afford free public water, and we can literally house every homeless person right now with all the empty, unsold, overpriced homes in the country. And still have a surplus of empty homes, if we did 1 homeless person to 1 entire house, there would still be an excess of empty houses.
No one in their tribe wants to collect the life of another to enrich himself personally. Capital, to me, is just the accumulation of a number of persons' lives, immortalized in the dollar value they gave to "society" (the uber rich who have a gun pointed to our economy 24/7), as we function in it. We can never say that. I mean, you've seen homeless people right? People eating out of the garbage to survive? It's kind of why America had a hookworm problem in the past. You aren't them, but if you WERE, if you live in a society where something could happen and you'd become them, would you be able to say you were cared for by the society you were born out of?
@@wulfstein3630 You wrote that wall of text only to spit out the typical "capitalism evil, return to monke" worn meme?
Don't overrate the hunter gatherer life. Modern ones don't go through the true horrors their ancestors had to live through. On the contrary, our industrial, agricultural world is what actually made their lives easier: it killed off or assimilated most of the competing tribes that would be massacring and raping each other yearly, and limited the amount of dangerous predators they have to fend off. That without including the humanitarian aid they receive from time to time.
You say capital is what borns out greed and evil? Humans were greedy long before that, when we needed to smash skulls, kill mamoths and get as many women pregnant as possible to ensure the survival of our genes...and even before, since we were apes. Chimps are still like that, animals are like that. We are animals.
Capital actually allowed us to leave that horrid past behind and allow the less fit survive, by allowing us to display our talents. You and I may have been among those who would have died quickly back then.
True, now we find more existential crises, but everything can eventually be overcome. There's a reason most of our ancestors left that life for good. They got fed up with it.
Haha yeah no screw that. My brain is wired to do office work, there's no benefit for civilized humans to return to this lifestyle our ancestors have fought so hard to move away from
@Junzu 96 Living longer is great and all, but some people who live to 100 spend the final 20 years of their lives in a chair losing their wits, and a hunter would die at 60 maybe, still sharp and fit but with the injuries and lifestyle taking its toll. All depends on what you would prefer, to burn out or fade away as they say

@@barkasz6066 even better, the answer was basically "bad thing that makes it harder to hunt"
You can blame the translator for half of this. There are brief hints that they have supernatural beliefs but they are only mentioned in passing. Even hunter gatherers have myths and legends.

once you have all the food and water you could ever need, you'll find other things to be sad about.

This interview is so important on so many levels. Knowing how people in simpler societies think, what their notion of happiness and the afterlife is, this will be close to what most humans would have believed thousands of years ago and really helps put the modern world in perspective. Why can some people be happy having a piece of meat and others are miserable with all the money in the world.
because with simpler common goals they are secure knowing they "have each other." So much so that they take it for granted.
"Some people are so poor that all they have is money."
Society dictates that having all you need is not enough, you should desire more, greed corrupts, living simply removes all the burden
Keep in mind that survival issues face all things that are alive, and that...there are modern/urban threats to survival that affect entire populations of individuals in ways that are unprecedented in nature. Be a part of the solution..perhaps there is a greater reward for helping humanity move out of the dark/uncertain times.
I would be interested to know what these guys think about city people's answers to these same questions, if it could even be translated. What do they think about people who eat meat and honey all day and are not happy. The things people worry about when there are no lions.
When so much of your day spent outdoors and dependent on the weather. It makes sense that the sun represents something so powerful like controls reality therefore the afterlife. Like they said that when someone dies they go to the sun.
“Is there anything else?” “Is there dangerous mouse?”
"Anything else you don't eat?"
"No there is no dangerous Mouse!" 🤣
The man sums up life's meaning in practicality, meat, honey, water. Sometimes we forget the most essential necessities of life are what life is about. I know for a fact when I am working to earn a living and occupying my time instead of being idle I seize to question things constantly and mind becomes focused and I am content and at piece. It is when I become idle when doubts and existential crisis arise.
Because he does not have a constant supply of meat, honey and water.
Life is about acquiring what you (think you) lack.
of course doubts and existential crisis occur when you are idle lol. thats the entire foundation of meditation and its why the fat giggling Buddhist did just that.
this is also why prayers are done in silence.
having distractions or work just turns you into a robot and less of a human with a conscience.

@@guymanperson1 It kinda is when I think about it now. Very good for you to point that out, as we often ignore our own sources of thought.
Here's a fun fact,
people don't like cold showers. However our bodies are meant to survive them, even if for a short time. And I realized this to be the truth when I took one for the first time.
The point is that you are lying to yourself that living naturally is going to be terrible. It's a romantic fear of sorts. The truth is, even if hard, natural life is where humans thrive. It's like putting a pc to execute some c++ instead of wanting it to speak and be emotional. Even though the pc uses its cpu and so on and gets tired in a way, it's meant to be there. You are meant to survive in any situation, along with the group unit. Which is why you will, if you let your instincts do their job for once instead of thinking they mean things they do not. This applies for every single thing in life. We are already equipped to deal with life, we just need to learn to use our equipment more.

Tbh at first I hoped they would give some deep spiritual insights in their beliefe and on the world. You know like from tales that you hear from natives all over the world or old mystic tribes.
After watching the video back then I was kind of disappointed and how simple their answers were like "What happens after death?" and they say "We burry the dead and go on".
Now, some years later, I finally understood that they in fact gave a very deep insight on their world view and while they've put it very simple and basic, at it's core it's truely very calm and taoistic.
They are the happiest when they have meat. But why? It feeds them, their family and their tribe. It makes them feel good. It gives them strength to continue and it gives them hope that in the future they will get meat again.
They are the happiest when they have meat because of the value it has and the happiness it brings them and their friends. Because they share it, because they got it together. Because they achieved a goal. It is a reward for hard work. It is a reward for continuing.
They don't question too much, why even should they? They are already happy when they have meat.
Not heroic levels. Just honesty. Weird how it's become something special now haha.

He's just never heard the question before so he was thinking inside of a box.
That is exactly right. These people don't have the physical capacity to understand the question. The truth is that people of all races and mental capacities will have a tough time knowing what is the correct answer.

Maslow's hierarchy of needs
Sounds nice, if anything the existential dread we so commonly are faced with is proof that our way of life has surpassed, (or rather diverged from) what we can understand as purposeful.
@Bartosz Wojciechowski Inaccurate. It is true there is a difference in cultural conceptions of fulfillment between collectivist and individualist cultures, but research has definitely demonstrated that when severe scarcity affects a society and people lack basic needs like shelter and food, they will inevitably spend most of their time focusing on acquiring these things as opposed to striving for more complex existential conceptions of fulfillment.
We live in a perfect society where there is plenty of food, no dangerous animals that could kill you and we're surrounded by our own kind (humans). However, we consider each other as dangerous as these hunters consider lions. Why? Because of capitalism which forces us to compete with each other instead of helping. "Existential crises" and other mental problems we bear are a direct result of the inhumane nature of such system where 1% hoards more resources than the rest of us have.

I thought it was sad they didn't know Jesus Christ as their savior. Where will you spend eternity? Will it be eternal life with our Creator, or eternal suffering apart from our Creator? Because you are going one of those places and it's very simple what determines where you will go when you die or leave this earth in some other way as God chooses. I felt I needed to share this, and do so as clearly as I can even though I don't know everything about eternity. Everything I say below is based on the Bible.
You will have eternal life if you place your belief and faith in Jesus Christ who is the sacrifice for sin (for all people have sinned against God except Jesus Christ), Jesus Christ is God in human flesh (according to John 1, and other places which point to this reality). In placing our faith/trust in Jesus Christ our sin is made right before God and the righteousness of God is given to that person. An evidence this is genuine will be that you can "tell a tree by it's fruit" as the Bible says, meaning that when you observe a persons life, does what they say and do show they have their faith in Christ and are seeking to obey him - not to say they don't still sin, but what happens when someone is saved is that they turn away from sin to Christ. Paul in the Bible would be an excellent example of this if you read the story of his life as to the change that happens in someone's life when they place their faith in Christ and turn from sin. In fact Paul called himself the foremost of sinners. So God provided salvation from the punishment of sin which is eternal separation from God. And it is this salvation that the Bible says is by "grace" which is defined as an undeserved gift from God (see Ephesians 2).
OR -
You will spend eternity apart from God in a place described as an eternal suffering and be thrown into a lake of fire if you do not place your faith and belief in Christ to take the penalty for your sin (based on verses referenced and quoted below). These people will be punished with everlasting destruction and shut out from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of his might on the day Jesus comes to be glorified in his holy people and to be marveled at among all those who have believed (based on 2 Thessalonians 1). If you bear no "fruit" then it is observed by others that you are not in fact a believer of Christ, and if you say you are there is legitimate cause for concern.
(And don't be deceived that Christ has come back before he has, it won't be hidden somewhere where you have to go to see it, it is rather compared to a lightning bolt that illuminates the whole sky based on Matthew chapter 24)
Here are some other biblical sections that tie directly into this topic.
Matthew 25:31-45 (Also read the whole chapter of Matthew 25, it's powerful)-
“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you drink? And when did we see you a stranger and welcome you, or naked and clothe you? And when did we see you sick or in prison and visit you?’ And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.’
“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’
“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’
“He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’
“Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”
Luke 13:"He went on his way through towns and villages, teaching and journeying toward Jerusalem. And someone said to him, “Lord, will those who are saved be few?” And he said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow door. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able. When once the master of the house has risen and shut the door, and you begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us,’ then he will answer you, ‘I do not know where you come from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ But he will say, ‘I tell you, I do not know where you come from. Depart from me, all you workers of evil!’ In that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all the prophets in the kingdom of God but you yourselves cast out. And people will come from east and west, and from north and south, and recline at table in the kingdom of God. And behold, some are last who will be first, and some are first who will be last.”"
Revelation 20 -
The Thousand Years
"Then I saw an angel coming down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the bottomless pita and a great chain. And he seized the dragon, that ancient serpent, who is the devil and Satan, and bound him for a thousand years, and threw him into the pit, and shut it and sealed it over him, so that he might not deceive the nations any longer, until the thousand years were ended. After that he must be released for a little while.
Then I saw thrones, and seated on them were those to whom the authority to judge was committed. Also I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for the testimony of Jesus and for the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were ended. This is the first resurrection. Blessed and holy is the one who shares in the first resurrection! Over such the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and they will reign with him for a thousand years."
The Defeat of Satan
"And when the thousand years are ended, Satan will be released from his prison 8and will come out to deceive the nations that are at the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them for battle; their number is like the sand of the sea. And they marched up over the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, but fire came down from heaven and consumed them, and the devil who had deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and sulfur where the beast and the false prophet were, and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever."
Judgment Before the Great White Throne
"Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them. And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Then another book was opened, which is the book of life. And the dead were judged by what was written in the books, according to what they had done. And the sea gave up the dead who were in it, Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them, and they were judged, each one of them, according to what they had done. Then Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire." (THIS IS PART 1, PART 2 IN REPLY BELOW)
(Part 2) Matthew 25:1-13 -
“Then the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish, and five were wise. For when the foolish took their lamps, they took no oil with them, but the wise took flasks of oil with their lamps. As the bridegroom was delayed, they all became drowsy and slept. But at midnight there was a cry, ‘Here is the bridegroom! Come out to meet him.’ Then all those virgins rose and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise answered, saying, ‘Since there will not be enough for us and for you, go rather to the dealers and buy for yourselves.’ And while they were going to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the marriage feast, and the door was shut. Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, lord, open to us.’ But he answered, ‘Truly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.
Luke 16:19-31 -
“There was a rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and who feasted sumptuously every day. And at his gate was laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who desired to be fed with what fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. The poor man died and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried, and in Hades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and saw Abraham far off and Lazarus at his side. And he called out, ‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and cool my tongue, for I am in anguish in this flame.’ But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that you in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house- for I have five brothers-so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ But Abraham said, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them.’ And he said, ‘No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ He said to him, ‘If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’”
It makes a lot of sense that God would be present in his creation.
This existence is incredible, think deeply about it and about the one true God of the Bible who made it. You and I exist.... and so does a God we are accountable to.
I used to think "I'll follow God when I'm older", by God's grace that changed, our relationship with God is the most important thing.
@@DrSmackAttack JESUS CHRIST MAN!!!! How long were you typing?!?!?
Strange how most of the world's remaining pure humans are generally invisible to the greater medias.
I liked how basic and clutter-free, and lucidly clear these guys lives seem.
Awesome.
what do you mean by "pure humans"?
Repent of sin and Trust in Jesus!
John 14:6
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Matthew 7:13-23
13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
15 Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.
16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
17 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.
18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.
20 Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.
21 Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.
20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.
21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

yeah it's so "clutter-free" that they're every day at risk of being eaten by a lion lmao so calming and simple
So you think everyone else is impure? The pianist and the saxophone player? The ballerina and the painter? The chef and the baker? The zoologist and the marine biologist? The architect and the landscaper? The list goes on and on. I find beauty in the diversity and complexity of modern civilization.
When I was young, I was taught to hate western civilization. At this point, I will not complain whatsoever. I love all the blessings we have been given. If you don't have gratitude, if you don't enjoy what you have, you risk losing it.

Meat and Honey! This guy gets it!
I think I'm going to modify my carnivore diet now once I get to the end of the month, and see how I do with the addition of honey.
The only worry and happiness in life!
A truly free people doesn't even need money for happiness. If there were no borders in Africa itself cause by the Europeans, people will be more happy travelling around.
Sure. "Meat and honey" could be metaphor something else too, there is double meaning. If you catch my drift...
