Muhammad Ali Explains Why We Don’t Own Our Bodies

Muhammad Ali – Never Die Video

Transcript:
“Life is real short. You add up all your traveling, add up all your sleeping, add up all your school, add up all your entertainment, you probably been half your life doing nothing. We don’t stay here, we’re just trustees. We don’t own nothing, even your children are not yours. If you think I’m lying, your wife is not yours. You die and come back a year later and go slip in your bedroom, and see if your wife is by herself. This is not the life now, your real self is inside you. Your body gets old, some of you go to look at the fridge and look old. You don’t have no teeth, your hair’s leaving you, your body’s get tired, but your soul and your spirit never die. Your soul and your spirit never die.”
