      How has someone provided help to you, Nicholas? Sometimes it feels a little threatening, because the person may be under drug effect or maybe in an extreme inward-looking introspective mood. I wonder how one could approach and offer effective help to people in homeless situation. How did it happen to you?

      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.

      @@michaelkylow4411 now you're right, most of the homeless do drugs and believe me in some cases, it's not even a choice. I was lucky to be off the streets in a timely manner. However, you can tell in a short conversation whether the person is under the influence of any substance or not. Don't be scared, make small talk. 9 out of 10 are decent and harmless people.

    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

J'ai pensé à tous ces migrants sans abris, à tous ces enfants orphelins, à toutes ces personnes rejetées à cause de leurs différences, etc. J'ai coulé des larmes. Car elle a su mettre à nu, à la fois, la réalité et ma sensibilité. Merci Nina.

      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
      @thelouisfanclub 8 ปีที่แล้ว +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.

      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.th-cam.com/video/EhJGUHkFKuU/w-d-xo.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.th-cam.com/video/fGO9KmwQ6WU/w-d-xo.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.th-cam.com/video/rBctdMqClYI/w-d-xo.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.

      Cara Márcia, os ingleses diferente dos americanos tinham imenso respeito pelos músicos negros dos EUA, o próprio Quincy Jones disse certa vez que os britânicos eram mais estudiosos da musica negra americana que os próprios americanos. Beatles, Stones, The Who e Animals regravaram inúmeras canções de artistas da Black Music e da Montown mas sempre rendendo o devido crédito a eles. Simone sabia disso por isso se apresentou varias vezes aos londrinos. O engraçado é que hoje um povo que já foi tão receptivo quanto os britânicos aprovam leis anti imigração.

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

    When you get to a point in life spiritually when you realize all the things you found on earth, including family, do not and never will belong to you... All you have is all that God gave you when You came into this mortal body. Anything else is a tool for one to better their lives as well as the rest of humanity. It is truly heartbreaking when we forget and live as though we will never leave these mortal bodies.💜💜💜

      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.

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.

Society's taken away most of the things she and her race had but she wanted to remember that they still had themselves. They had a voice, they had their life. But that message is easily applied and interpreted by people of other races and cultures in much the same way. And that's great, it means her art was transformative, it has a staying power beyond its historical significance.

      gary corr you people don’t know that God did not bring us to this world to be enjoying life. He brought us here to to this cursed planet and cursed world be tested with his laws and commandments. To see who will keep them all his life. Those who passed through believing in Jesus as their lord and savior, will be forgiven and saved and will then be given everlasting life in the kingdom of heaven.
      While those who failed will be thrown into the lake of fire on judgment day with satan and all his demons. To be destroyed forever in outer darkness.
      Jesus is the only way to escape. Because he died for our sins and rose again from death on the third day after his death and ascended back to heaven where he came from.
      Therefore whoever repents of his sins and believe in Jesus, will be saved from hell fire and the lake of fire.
      In the Bible, in romans 10:9-10 it said: if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. End quote.
      In the bible, in romans 6:23, it said: the wages(payment) for sin is death. But the gift of God is everlasting life in Jesus Christ our lord. End quote.
