Don’t be eye candy, be soul food.

What’s the meaning of “don’t be eye candy, be soul food.”?
It means that your appeal shouldn’t be physical but should come from your internal qualities, i.e. don’t just be beautiful on the outside, be beautiful on the inside as well.

In framing an ideal we may assume what
we wish, but should avoid impossibilities.
ARISTOTLE

There is no passion, there is serenity.
There is no chaos; there is harmony.
There is no death, there is the Force.

Immortal Technique, remember me when I’m gone
I encrypted my lyrics to stay alive in a song
so you’ll always keep a piece of my spirit inside
when you struggle to complete what I started before I died
but some of you won’t survive the changes the Earth makes
swallowed by tsunamis, hurricanes, and earthquakes
and that’s just the first stage if you cannot reverse ways
and realize that we are one regardless of our birthplace

A simple man see a statue of a god and falls down and worships it.
