Part of me feels like that was a big underlying motivator for different cultures to try and control and invade them over time. As a beautiful unique and established culture like this is one is often threatening to those who are insecure or unhappy with their own culture, and so instead of embracing the gifts that it could bring to the world instead they choose to try and control it, destroy it or make it their own.

I had to cry hard watching this one. An overwhelming mixture of joy but also sadness. So many heartwarming interactions - even though, as you said, you don't even understand each other's languages you can communicate on this deep, primal level where you just know were both humans living together on this sometimes harsh planet, experiencing the same on a basic human level even though your experiences differ wildly. It reminded me of what we truly are and that were in this together. But knowing the situation in Afghanistan it's also sad. Sad that not everyone can live peacefully because some few people ignore our indifferences. One thing I will do for sure is travel the whole world, backpacking, hitchhiking after finishing my studies. Planning a rough route isn't easy as some countries are too risky as traveller. So many countries, cultures and experiences I will perhaps never see and have to avoid in the face of danger. Props to you Thomas for taking this risk but also opportunity and showing us this beautiful country.

I hope this inspires others to look into Afghanistan and look at our history (it's very interesting).

I was wondering about the wealth gap and it seemed like they were in another world from the majority of the Afghan people. Would you say this is a true reflection of the country? (please forgive my rudeness, it's just in today's world it's hard to know what's honest and what's a pair of international rose coloured glasses.)

[@sarasaidi4140]

@@NeonCicada Hello! and no problem, I don't think it's rude and I'm glad you are curious about it. What specifically about the wealth gap are you thinking about? Also, I agree, it definitely seems that they are in another country, but keep in mind, this entire video was filmed strictly in the city of Herat (it's one of the more peaceful cities in comparison to other regions) (also, if they were to go outside of the area, the chances of running into the Taliban or seeing military officials would rise - additionally with ISIS in the region, conditions have become more dangerous for those living in the capital of Kabul). Nonetheless, coming from someone who visited Afghanistan a few times, life is pretty much normal, children playing outside, visiting mosques, going to local Bazar. But seeing large military tanks or military helicopters brings the reality of the on-going war (even seeing or hearing bomb blasts - relatives of mine were killed and affected from this). Though this is a harsh reality, a lot of Afghans try to go about their lives as there is not much they can do from their part. With that being said, i do think this video is a true reflection of Afghan society without the war. I remember times when we barely could afford food but if we had guest over, we would go beyond to show our appreciation to them - I hope this answers your question :)

[@justinberber9848]

You must not be in Afghanistan if you're able to use youtube and post a picture showing your hair and face. I didn't see a single woman in the entire video. Islam really is a twisted religion.

[@sarasaidi4140]

​@@justinberber9848 Hi there, I do not live in Afghanistan. Due to the current conditions, women are restricted in comparison to men. Though, to your comment, that has absolutely nothing to do with Islam, it is because of the strict rules imposed on women due to terrorist organizations who claim their actions upon religion when in reality, it's very false. If you actually look into Islam, you would see that women have many rights and Islam is a peaceful religion. I would want to challenge you in that comment. Would you say that Christianity is a twisted religion? I mean, a lot of far-right groups use it as a justification for their actions if you look historically and currently at terrorist groups in the United States (for example). Nonetheless, while I do respect that you have an opinion and you're definitely entitled to that, I hope you take in my words for consideration (i respect people of all religions and don't think any of them are "evil") and you look at different sources before coming to that conclusion. If this is something you would want to talk about, I'm happy to do so. Have a nice day!

21 years of growing up in Afghanistan, I have seen it all! Talk about Talibans, Suicide bombers, militia attacks, everything. But instead of trying to build resentment for the country I actually chose to watch it from a different angle. I knew in order to change the world I have to change myself, that change starts within. So I tried that! Started by reading books, watching beneficial videos and stuff. Suddenly came across a video of you guys Ramadan fasting. Saw that one and another one, one after that and after that. Maybe binge watched for about 4 hours! 4 years forward, I'm pretty sure I've seen about 90% of your channels videos. I can feel the positivity and optimism, which has helped me tremendously on my POV about the world. But I always felt left out because of how you guys were in America and I was all the way in Afghanistan! But now, watching this, I feel so good that you guys have taken the risk of all kinds and shown the world what Afghanistan really is about. And I also kinda feel leftout that you guys didn't have a meet and greet! Although bucket list is a cliche word but that would've been one of the top things to meet you guys. Still tho, the positive side is wayyy lot more than me not meeting you guys. Thank you.

@KR45Y76 There's this video game called "Sky: Children of Light" there are a lot of "shared moments of humanity" because players aren't able to speak to each other using chat and can only use emotes. Once a girl (who I later found out was from Saudi Arabia) was playing the piano in-game. I liked the song she was playing and sat down next to her, and pulled out my own piano. She started playing the song again and I tried copying her. When she realized I was trying to play the song, she slowed down and played it a few notes at a time, and only moved on when I got it correct. When I finally got the song correct she was super excited and was running around. We didn't speak each other's language nor did I know anything about her but we spent half an hour together. Sky has a lot of moments like that which is why I love the game, if you're ever looking for "shared moments of humanity" you should try it out.

[@mryantong]

​@@izzitheraider24 the smile of the kids in the video, the conversation between Noor and the citadel keeper with Thomas and Drew when they talk about Americans leaving Afgha, is exactly what I see from my dad when he talks about American soldiers in his memories of Vietnam war. He has strong appreciation deeply in his heart for those American soldiers in the war, just like what these Afgha has for American present in their country. The Vietnam war is long over, and the relation between Vietnamese and Americans is better than ever before. I really hope things will get better in Afgha soon in near future. And thank you sir for your service, for not only fighting for this country but also for the ordinary people from around the world.

I used to work in a warehouse with a guy from Kabul. Farid. He was an interpreter for the US. He went back to Kabul to visit his family (despite knowing that the Talbian knows who he is) Not that long after we pulled out and nobody has heard from him since. I know he cant read this but Farid if your still out there, we think about you almost every day and i pray that your still with us.

[@rimomori9058]

Have you heard from him?

[@dewie110]

May farid be safe

[@cher-amirose7109]

So sorry. I hope they are all hiding in a safe place.

[@JohnDowdd]

nobody knows where farid is saying "Rip" isbelievingg his is dead, which is not something that should be said. Being very rude imaging he didn't live. Options could next time be wish farid luck, hope farid is safe, are hearts are with farid. Farid has a high chance to not be alive due the the war, "taliban" but its good to now say things like that.

[@justinsmith4562]

i cried too 😭 Noor said he worked an entire year to save only about $4,000 to buy a couple hundred square feet of land to build a school for the children of afghanistan 🇦🇫 because they are the future. This touched my fucking soul. I love the intention of giving Noor some proceeds of the company they gave him. It really shows how much people of privilege take for granted. I could save over $8,000 in a year working at mcdonald's and still live off of the rest I would've made in ONE ☝️ Year. He can finally build that school and help all those children in need have an opportunity at bettering their lives, the lives of the people around them, and the future of Afghanistan 🇦🇫. Praise their souls. Great Work YES Theory. Really emotional video. P.S. : I find it absolutely INSANE Noor actually went through all that, and still is determined to better his country instead of abandoning all hope like soundly a lot of people after understanding terrorist organizations occupy 60% - 70% of all lands in the Country. (They said there are about 6-7 counties in which they'd actually be able to venture off in, without threat of terrorism or kidnapping.... absolutely disturbing. I know Afghanistan's situation 🇦🇫 WILL get better in time. This just inspires me to try even harder in life to give a lot more support to people in countries who actually need it. GG's all around. I'm investing in crypto and Tesla and donating all capital gains to help out countries in situations such as this. At the end of the day, we're all human and a little goes a long way in different places across the globe. 🌍 🇦🇫🆙⬆️🤍

As someone who has faught and lost several friends in Afghanistan, friends who were beautiful people... I can honestly say 12-13 years after leaving that country with nothing but hate and negative feelings towards Afghanistan, this video has instilled a new and more positive perspective towards the country of Afghanistan and its beautiful people who, are not all bad but mostly amazing. Thank you for this liberating 34 minutes! I will be sure to purchase from seek discomfort to give back! God bless you all!

Massive respect for them putting the effort and taking the risks to provide us with an updated perspective on life in Afghanistan, quality content we appreciate

[@KitamusPrime]

I was in Helmand Province. The worst province in Afghanistan. It was sad at the state of the area. There were plenty of really good people just trying to get by with what little they had, just to constantly be stuck in the middle of conflicts. They weren't loyal to either side or even the country. They were just trying to survive. Just taking a walk to the Bazar, was a risk because the IED threat was so high there. Pressure plates don't discriminate with race, gender or age. It was also one of the most beautiful places I have ever been to.

[@dmarie8743]

I’m sorry for the loses you’ve had to endure. I am very touched & so glad to see the guide is doing something truly amazing that will have a great impact on the younger generations. Not only to give them a safe haven, full bellies, & love. But to strive to give these kids an education & give them a chance in this world to really make a difference. So they can grow up with the tools to make their home a better place. To remedy the past & help make a better future. It all starts in childhood. A foundation they can stand on. So good on Moor for doing his part to make sure the kids left behind know love.
