lmfao its a video not real. Come to south florida and give a handshake. They will spit in y our face. You cant live in reality on a handshake. I give change, hats, shirts, food etc to the ones panhandling in south florida. A handshake is the same as someone saying "Ill pray for you...." Does nothing and no action. Its just the video man. In real life on the streets no bum wants a handshake. They want a beer or money or food

[@truthiswhat1]

I'm a vet who has dealt with PTSD pretty bad. I was a mess until I adopted my dog and ended up training and certifying him as a service dog. He is my best friend. as he got older I realized I needed to learn to cope and let him retire to the couch instead of following me around everywhere. I now let him come with or stay home when he pleases. At first I felt like I was giving up my only friend but over time it made me stronger to make the choice to not rely on him for my sanity. so many nights I wondered if there was any one out there looking out for me, for years i felt like sometimes only my doggo was.. then I re-learned to stand again. I'm a grown man and this song made me ugly cry. good job boys.

[@lisa-km4ck]

I just discovered this band and I got to say I'm in love with their music. 3 years ago I was finally getting my life together after 20 years of addiction. And then last year I ended up getting transverse Myelitis. Woke up one day paralyzed mid chest down. I couldn't Walk for 4 months. Now a year later I can walk with a cane. But there's a good chance this will become MS. Which my mom had so it's no surprise but still here I am 44 yrs old and lost once again. Part of me thinks I would've been better off staying a junkie ya know?

MS treatment has come a long way (according to my mother who worked in an MS infusion center for a few years) so while things will be tough, don’t write yourself off yet. Sobriety is ALWAYS worth it.

@@haydendutton6916 Lots of religious narcissists that want to maintain pretendingly that there's a Disneyland in the sky at the end of life's road are known for sexually objectifying people who for ages have been viewed as 2nd class citizens. One only has to listen to examples provided by humbled people at things such as #MeToo events. Those events are something that Trumpstein types tend to avoid.. The creepy mafia connected president apparently did things such as rape his ex wife after the broke up in 1989, in a building that the mafia poured the cement for during a nationwide unionized strike, and if she didn't take the hushmoney after the courtroom heard her humbling victim's impact statement read aloud, then Trumpstein The Hushmoney Rapists Grabbyhands Gramps of A Man never would've touched politics with his grabby grabby hands really. And, you wouldn't've had ending up hearing about his twitter posting as he wants his religiously narcissistic supporters that are often heavily armed to the delusional teeth to engage in an act of civil war upon his impeachment for his breaking a bunch of rules he was caught doing. You wouldn't even have heard of someone such as Kavanaugh's 1982 rape victim getting death threats from creepy violent Trumpstein supporters, after she was bold enough to mention what happened years prior, in 2017. Kavanaugh is a drunken rapey judge with low moral values, that is now employed by the supreme court panel of very questionable justice's of the peace. Be safe, be healthy, because theres real afterlife as a backup plan. Unfortunately, the hijackers of jets on 9/11 pretended they'd be getting 72 smiley virgins just waiting for them at the end of life's road, because of skitzo affective afterlife expectations disorder left medically untreated. It's too bad that free universal healthcare isn't yet found in the land of the fee, though there's piles of churches and gun stores, and those commonplace mass shooting events, and a sizable prison industrialized complex. They make sure to put a Gideon in each of the cells for the fools to read, as if that's really helping things.. All the best

As someone who has been homeless, I can say that homeless people are probably a lot more misunderstood then you realize. A lot of them become content in their situation, while others like myself are serious about their situation and work for change. It took me four months to get out of that life. I saw some shit in that time. While I do feel sorry for some people that are homeless, I would encourage you not to look at homelessness as black and white. Veterans, and the mentally ill can't really help themselves, but I've met some assholes that never cared to change.

I have always tried to bring light to homeless people when i was in school or college and would write a paper to let people know but there is so much ignorance and hate these days it is just sad most people are one paycheck away from being homeless just because they have no home does not mean they are not people still.

"lord I live to entertain, all my pride is in my praise" as someone who has been a victim of abuse, this hit me hard. It really does get to the point where all you want to do is try and make other people smile and be happy because you truly believe that that is all you are worth. Your only worth comes from what you give to others and how you make their lives easier. Thank you guys for putting such a complicated emotion into simple song lyrics, it makes myself and others feel less alone.

I'm a veteran that was wrongfully diagnosed with PPMS (primary progressive multiple sclerosis)....I began treatment 2011 using 20mg Copaxone, then went to 40mg Copaxone when it got approved by the FDA. I never had MS.......I had a staph infection that got missed, and macular retnoscisis caused from a parsitic infection that migrated to my right eye. This wasn't discovered till 2018.....

I remember when I was homeless and how hard it was to actually beg for a dollar just so I could eat and them turning you down I found with my pride I’d rather starve then ever ask another soul to look out for me … when I see someone in that situation I give them what I can today … this song calls to my soul

[@nateheskett333]

Like a jester at the ball Rub my shoulders with the kings I was draped in gold and velvet Bathing in applause While I was jumping through the rings And then the cooks would sound a bell And all the kings would lick their lips But I couldn't find a placemat The dinner table's full And there's no room for me to sit Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? Just say you want me Just say you need me Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? Does anybody need me? Is every last soul just fucking me over? With tears on their shoes And ice on their shoulders Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? Lord, I live to entertain All my pride is in my praise I hum along with this vibration And hope to God I make it If any chord that I could strum Make me feel less like a man I'd slam my fingers in the doorway And shatter all the bones So I could never strum again Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? Just say you want me Just say you need me Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? For me? Is every last soul just fucking me over? With tears on their shoes And ice on their shoulders Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? Woah, Is there anybody out There looking out for me? Just say you want me Just say you need me Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? For me? Woah, Is every last soul Just fucking me over? With tears on their shoes And ice on their shoulders Is there anybody out there Looking out for me? For me Is every last soul just fucking me over?

How can these guys touch me the way they do? They are intergenerational, timeless in a way that I hope the rest of the world recognizes. They deserve to be up there with the great rock and roll messengers, the soul-movers whose music and lyrics carry through all the years. This video made me cry like a baby. The timing and theme were so exactly right for what I was and am living now that it was as if he were singing specifically for me. I first heard Ghost when I was going through the pre-steps myself....I pulled back from the abyss because I could hear something in the song and I was curious where this "new" group was going.....I don't know too much about them but plan to learn more. Damn. This is what music is about. Thank you, Badflower.

This video broke me. My family doesn't have much, especially with my health keeping me from working, but I am blessed with a husband who has a heart like mine and can't stand to see anyone go hungry or on the streets. In the past 2 years alone we have taken in 2 teens (helped them graduate) and a couple. We don't eat 3 course meals but every one has food, hot water, and a roof over their heads. We just wish we could do more. If people living barely above the poverty line can do this much, imagine what the rich could do? I don't say this for recognition, I don't need recognition for being human. But I do say it to prove to people that you don't have to be rich to help in whatever way you can. Be blessed 🙏🏽
