Life-Changing Encounter: A Missionary's Journey with the Pirahã People in the Amazon | SLICE

Daniel Everett embarked on his journey to the Amazon as a Catholic missionary, aiming to bring the word of God to the secluded Pirahã people in the jungle. However, he found himself profoundly enlightened by the contentment of the Pirahã and underwent a radical transformation in his life.
Now, as a distinguished professor of linguistics, Everett's groundbreaking study of the Pirahã language has the potential to revolutionize the field of contemporary linguistics.

Daniel Everett, Sir , what a life you have had! I always thought, instinctively we know there is something greater than all of us. I look at the faces of the children of the Pirahas, and they look ready for what is around the corner regardless of the beyond. Much regard and respect for what you have gone through academically. ❤ and Happy Life.

I love your programs, many of them opened my eyes. Let me understand that there are many different ethnic groups of people living on our earth outside the civilized world. Although their lives are very primitive or very backward from our way of life, they live a simple, happy and contented life. This also makes me think what is the purpose of our life? In today's network society, there are many strange and absurd things that make us lose our direction. And after watching your program, I understand that the simpler and more honest your life is, the closer you will be to happiness

That was so interesting. I have to watch the documentary now. If only we could all live like this. I hope they never experience the slavery of modern civilization.

May God bless him and his family. Amen

I would say that they're still in paradise or the garden of eden. No need to be "saved" if you've already arrived (or in this case, have never left). Also god and religion are not the same thing.

it says I got a heart 💖from this channel, but I didn't!?

[@lianefehrle9921]

I know they are right about one thing. They don’t want god because they see how god destroys minds. He is of no use for them. This one shows how religion can ruin lives.

At-Tur - Verse 35 أَمْ خُلِقُوا۟ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَىْءٍ أَمْ هُمُ ٱلْخَـٰلِقُونَ The Clear Quran: Or were they created by nothing, or are they ˹their own˺ creators?

So disgusting that this man put his family in deadly situations SEVERAL times just to live here. This is so irresponsible, selfish and careless.

[@JR-jp7mi]
