Isolation
The World Organization of the Righteous Movement [W.O.R.M.] Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Truth in that I can’t deny it
I’m trying to better myself
Trying to better the climate
You think I’m wanting to die
Truth is that I can’t explain it
I’m trying to learn for myself
Trying to better my timing
Alright
Yeah
Everything that I thought I had known
Going away and I’m back on my own
Thinking I’m needing some help
Knowing I’m needing the guidance
Oh lord
Please
I’ve been working on my lifestyle
Trynna run a mile in these warn out shoes
Trynna live a legacy
Im tortured by modesty
Just an expression
I’m waiting for payment
Been learning my lessons
I’m here and taking what I want
Not what i need
Practice makes perfect you know what I mean
I ain’t been flawless at least I been honest
I need to believe if I want to be seen
Forget where I’ve been if I want to be me
To get where I’ll be i just hav to be me
Think that Im choosing to lie
Truth in that I can’t deny it
I’m trying to better myself
Trying to better the climate
You think I’m wanting to die
Truth is that I can’t explain it
I’m trying to learn for myself
Trying to better my timing
Trying to better my timing
Trying to
Trying to
Trying to
See what was wrong with this life that I had
There’s too many pictures of past times it’s the last time
That I’ll ever submit
Admit to myself all the sins I commit
It’s like all of these shows that you see on the tv
It feels like a repeat
It’s sad but it’s true
But we’re back to the start
Trynna make up for my issues through art
But it’s truth and reality lost every day
Truthful anxiety feeling astray
And If Pain and dismay is enough on my page
I be waiting for brightness to light up the way
Waiting for happiness take all the pain
Think that Im choosing to lie
Truth in that I can’t deny it
I’m trying to better myself
Trying to better the climate
You think I’m wanting to die
Truth is that I can’t explain it
I’m trying to learn for myself
Trying to better my timing
Trying to better my timing
Alright
Yeah
Everything that I thought I had known
Going away and I’m back on my own
Thinking I’m needing some help
Knowing I’m needing the guidance
Oh lord
Please

However, truth and reality are being overshadowed daily
Truthful anxiety feeling astray
Anxiety caused by the truth, feeling lost
And If Pain and dismay is enough on my page
If pain and sadness are evident in my life
I be waiting for brightness to light up the way
I am longing for happiness to illuminate my path
Waiting for happiness take all the pain
Anticipating joy to alleviate all the suffering

Looking back on the Declaration of Independence almost 50 years later, Thomas Jefferson explained that the document’s purpose was never meant to be thoroughly original; its purpose wasn’t to articulate anything that hadn’t be said before, but to make the case for the American colonies in plain terms and persuade the world to see common sense. “It was intended to be an expression of the American mind,” Jefferson explains. He goes on to claim that “[the Declaration’s] authority rests then on the harmonizing sentiments of the day.” (Jefferson to Henry Lee, May 8, 1825)
Jefferson finished his timeless defense of “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” in little more than two weeks, and like most writers, he was no stranger to the revision process. Between the Committee of Five and the Second Continental Congress, there were 86 edits to the document. The Second Continental Congress removed whole sections. Jefferson was most angered by the removal of one particular clause, a clause blaming the King for forcing the slave trade upon the American colonies.
The final draft of the Declaration of Independence contains a preamble, a list of grievances, a formal declaration of independence, and signatures.
Preamble
This first part of the Declaration contains an assertion of individual rights. Perhaps the most famous line states, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness.” This part goes on to say that if the government tries to take these rights away, the people have the right to form a new government. Jefferson also addresses a counterclaim in this section, acknowledging that “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes…” He counters by reminding his audience of the “long train of abuses and usurpations” that makes it “…their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”
Grievances
The longest part of the Declaration begins with "He has refused his Assent to Laws" and goes on to list the unfair actions of the British king and Parliament. In their complaints, the colonists make it clear that they are angry with the British king and government for taking away their rights as English citizens. They point out that the king has ignored or changed their colonial governments, as well as their rights to a trial by jury. The colonists accuse the king of sending a hired army to force them to obey unjust laws. They say the king is “unfit to be the ruler of a free people.”
Note: The norms and structure of argumentative writing in the 18th century were different than they are in the 21st century. The list of grievances that serves as the Declaration’s evidence seems largely anecdotal by today’s standards. However, the Declaration’s claim and underlying assumption (big idea) are especially applicable to the writing standards of 21st-century classrooms.
Formal declaration of independence
The final paragraph, beginning with "We, therefore, the Representatives of the united States of America," affirms that the 13 colonies are free and independent states. It breaks all ties with the British government and people. As independent states, they can make trade agreements and treaties, wage war, and do whatever is necessary to govern themselves. This formal declaration of independence ends with important words. The words tell us what the signers of the Declaration of Independence were willing to give up for freedom: “…we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.”
Signatures
There are 56 signatures on the Declaration of Independence. Fifty men from 13 states signed the document on August 2 in 1776. The other six signed over the course of the next year and a half. As the President of the Second Continental Congress, John Hancock signed first. He wrote his name very large. Some of the men abbreviated their first names, like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin. All of the signers risked their lives when they signed the Declaration of Independence.
Legacy of the argument
Contrary to popular belief, the words of the Declaration of Independence did not gain immediate prominence. In fact, they remained obscure for decades. And yet the spirit of the Declaration caused ripples almost immediately, most famously with the French Revolution in 1789. The Haitian Revolution followed soon after, and the subsequent decades would see many Latin American countries continuing the fight for independence from colonial powers. In 1945, Vietnamese leader Ho Chi Minh also invoked the document when declaring Vietnamese independence from the French colonial empire.
Within the U.S., the women’s suffrage movement adapted the Declaration of Independence for their cause, asserting in the 1848 Declaration of Sentiments that “all men and women are created equal.” Meanwhile, the country’s celebrations of independence haunted enslaved people and abolitionists like Frederick Douglass, whose 1852 speech “What to the Slave is the Fourth of July?” pondered the nation’s shortcoming despite its dedication to values like liberty. As Douglass said, “This Fourth of July is yours, not mine. You may rejoice, I must mourn.”
As World War I came to a close, leaders from Eastern Europe gathered inside Independence Hall on October 26, 1918 to sign the Declaration of Common Aims of the Independent Mid-European Nations. Those gathering in Independence Hall that day sought to bring autonomy to the nations of the former Austro-Hungarian and Ottoman Empires. The signers pledged their mutual support and their belief that “it is the unalienable right of every people to organize their own governments on such principles and in such forms as they believe will best promote their welfare, safety, and happiness.”
After the signing ceremony, Doctor Thomas Masaryk, the first president of Czechoslovakia, read the Declaration of Common Aims on Independence Square, just as John Nixon read the Declaration of Independence on July 8, 1776

You only need about 10 mins of sun exposure to get sufficient Vitamin D. And it has to be either in the morning or late afternoon when the sun is just above the horizon.
Anymore than 10 mins, especially during noontime, will cause more skin damage than Vitamin D benefits.
There are also Vitamin D3 supplements. People in northern countries take them to offset the limited daylight hours during winter.
Moreover, different people with different skin pigmentation require different amounts of sunlight. A pale skin person requires less time out in the sun to absorb the same amount of benefits compared to a darker skinned person. Melanin pigments help protect against the sun, which is why dark-skinned people can stay out longer in the sun while pale skin people get easily sunburned within a short time.
Please consult actual medical research before giving out general advice because it's different for everybody.

@@lolislayer1643 have you ever arm wrestled a construction worker? You’d be better off to quit while you’re ahead, even a football player would lose against construction workers any day of the week, I can even tell you why; a football player will likely go to the gym 3-4 days of the week, shifting focus between different muscle group and rest days in between, a construction worker is doing this shit likely 6 days a week and it’s not even training, it’s just their job and they’re taking extra hours to feed their families all of which is demanding all the energy of their arms and upper torso with little rest.
