No Your City: Episode 4 (Matthew Silver)

In a city of over 8 million people, it is impossible to walk the streets without running into interesting New Yorkers with unique relationships to the city. Whether it is Don Ward, the best shoe-shiner in Manhattan or Te'Devan the 6'7" Nomadic-Jewish-Healing-Freestyler. Everyone has a story that is worth hearing, but unfortunately most of them go unheard. New York City is the busiest place on earth and it is rare for someone to take a few minutes out of their schedule to stop and chat with a fellow New Yorker.
No Your City is an 8-part documentary series that offers a glimpse into the lives of these extraordinary New York City inhabitants.

    The paradox is that people look down on this guy even though he has the mindset of the future. Love is the key to the higher vibrations!

    You don't need any talent to express love. This guy has the right idea. His talent is the act of selflessness. That's a talent.

    To all you folks claiming he's just a selfish, attention-starved hipster, I beg to differ. I think it's pretty clear from these mini-docs and his youtube channel that the main reason he's drawing attention to himself is to cause an interaction to happen that might make people smile or laugh. He does say "keep it simple" all the time. I think he simply wants more positivity in peoples' hearts. That seems like the antithesis of selfishness to me.

    This guy is amazing, the sad thing of it all is that people feel the need to dislike this guy because hes different - even though his intentions are pure. The man speaks of the world as it should be, happiness of being loved by the people around you, making people smile, dance and just enjoying themself, doesn't matter if it's seconds or minutes, he makes them feel free. That's how I think the world would be a beautiful place if people just followed his words and actually live for now and enjoy it while it last. He contributes happiness.

    Mathew, when I am sad I watch u and my sadness goes away. When i am angry I watch you and my anger fades into nothing. When I am lonely I think about what it would be like to have you as a friend and you know what, It would be LOVEly. Thank you for being you! Love In The Moment! Free our minds and be silly and enjoy LOVE!! You are in my opinion wiser than any other person that has ever lived or will live.

    This dude is braver than any of us ... god is love .... love is god ... god lives in each person who loves oneself loves the world and its inhabitants .... just be grateful for what you have around you ...be greatful for life we have .... too many people desire more and more and more .... just be , be happy dam it people come and go its like that with Everyone ...people move ..get busy...die.... all this is temporary... and the want for more and more is greed and self interest when you love you care , its so much more rewarding to be able to change someones day give hope give inspiration give a positive outlook give love ... love last forever when it real . Love for a person is there even when they pass away the love you feel for them remains ... love is forever_too bad people have an experation date.

    But there are tribal men and hunters that don't necessarily fear that. You create fear. So you create that. Thats your interpretation of fear. That is not fear itself in the context of an element is present and an element is not present. The one fear as an element would enthrall you. Push you. The other would inhibit cause anxiety and stunt progress.

    Yea but you don't have to fear that lmao. Its not a part of the thought process. If it happens it happens. I'm taking it back to a time before men were going to the grocery stores and defining fear. There are men out there that do not fear lions. I think there's a man that interacts with a pride of wild lions. I don't think he defines fear quite like you but he may be afraid of spiders so he doest get around them much. Besides that's irrelevant. I'm talking about fear itself. Not the emotion that causes anxiety but the fear say a cliff diver knows is present but does not look directly in the eyes. He jumps anyway. He's not turning fear into an emotion. It stays as an element. A factor to the situation that was not actual as emotions which we make actual.

    I love how self important all these transient, hipster "artists" are. Be yourself or whatever but let's face it, you're not actually solving any real world problems here, are you? If push came to shove and this guy actually had to roll up his sleeves and really work, I bet he'd dissipate. Go work at a food bank, bro. Go sling soup to the homeless. Go join the peace corps. Oh wait, that's right, no way to get your "LOOK AT MEEE!!!" jollies doing that is there?
