Filipino Best Traits/Practices
Even with the internet and the access to countless guides, blogs, and articles dedicated to travel, there are always going to be new things for travellers to encounter upon visiting foreign countries. These include cultural practices completely unfamiliar to them. The Philippines has quite a few, so here’s a guide to understanding these Filipino habits. https://theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/7-traditions-only-filipinos-can-understand/ https://theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/12-things-to-know-before-visiting-the-philippines/
Pagmamano
A scene that may seem rather peculiar to the foreign traveller is when Filipino children come up to their parents or grandparents upon arriving home or seeing them, and instead of greeting them with a hug or a kiss, they take the elder’s hand and places the back of it to their forehead. This gesture is known as *pagmamano.* It is an act of respect, usually done to someone either older or a person of the religious order (usually a priest). It is usually accompanied by saying ‘*mano po*’, *mano* meaning ‘hand’ in Spanish and *po*, a particle in Filipino speech used to express respect. This saying is used to ask for the elder’s hand, followed by a slight bow and the act of touching the hand to the forehead. People do this action as if to receive the elder’s blessing, to which they would normally reply, ‘God bless you’. *Pagmamano* is like the Filipino counterpart to Japan’s bowing and Spain’s double cheek kiss.
‘Filipino Time’
While many Filipinos have recognised this unfavourable stereotype and are making attempts to change it, the country is still quite known for running on what is known as ‘Filipino time’, which is essentially a euphemism for saying that Filipinos are always late. When Filipinos agree on a specific time, say for a meeting or an event, it is, more often than not, understood to actually mean around 15 minutes to half an hour after the agreed upon time. So don’t be surprised when Filipino gatherings almost always turn out to begin later than planned. https://theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/11-stereotypes-all-filipinos-hate/
Inability to say ‘no’
A Filipino quirk that many a time frustrates foreigners as much as it confuses them is when locals refuse to give an outright decline or negation. Filipinos, in general, don’t like confrontations, and many avoid saying ‘no’ at all costs. Instead, they’ll give the Tagalog equivalent to a ‘maybe’, an ‘alright, we’ll see’, or an ‘I’ll try.’ So should a Filipino be invited to a gathering, and he says ‘I’ll try,’ there’s a 50/50 chance he won’t make an appearance. Pay attention to the words they use and their tone of delivery – you’ll soon recognise what a Filipino ‘no’ sounds like.
Being both religious and superstitious
The country’s transitional history under different foreign colonisers brought with it varying influences, including that of religion and belief systems. During pre-colonial times, the area of what is now known as the Philippine archipelago practised a form of animism. Archaeological research also found traces of Buddhism. Then, when the Spanish came, massive movements to convert Filipinos to Christianity took place, leaving the country to this day with a majority of its population Roman Catholic. And with many Filipinos possessing Chinese ancestry, they have adopted belief systems from that culture as well. This diversity is why the Philippines is so unique in its spiritual aspects. It’s a country with millions of devotees cramming the streets of Manila during the Feast of the Black Nazarene and with people actually flagellating and crucifying themselves during Holy Week Good Friday. However, it’s also a country with people who refuse to go directly home after a wake (for fear that the spirit follows them home) and forbid that the weddings of two immediate family members fall within the same year (in fear of bad luck).
Rare use of first names
Respect is essential in Filipino culture. There are even particles of speech in Tagalog, such as ‘*po*’ and ‘*op*’, that are used to express politeness when speaking to elders. In fact, these two words and their usage are taught to children from a very young age so that they may get used to it and grow up knowing how to speak with respect. This high regard for honour is also the reason that there are titles used to politely address other people. First names are almost exclusively used for your peers of around the same age. For older people, there are titles such as *ate* (older sister), *kuya* (older brother), *tito* (uncle), *tita* (aunt), *lolo* (grandfather), and *lola* (grandmother), all of which are used depending on the age of the person you’re addressing, regardless of whether or not they are actually related to you.
Typical table utensils are spoons and forks
Usually, a very basic table set-up anywhere else in the world includes a knife and a fork. People will only see a spoon if there will be some soup and a teaspoon for desserts. In the Philippines, however, unless harder, larger cuts of meat are part of the meal, the knife is unnecessary, and a spoon takes its place. Filipinos use forks and spoons essentially because almost every meal always includes rice. The spoon is much more useful in carrying the rice and other food items, and the fork is used simply to push them onto the spoon.
Greeting someone with ‘Have you eaten?’
Perhaps to say the Filipino day (and life) revolves around food would not be too big of an overstatement. This country is a largely food-loving one. With three huge meals a day, several snacks in between, and every event throughout the year celebrated with a feast—food is at the heart of everything Filipino; this is the main reason Filipinos are very fond of greeting with ‘*Kumain ka na ba?*’ (‘Have you eaten?’). They’ll invite you to join them for a meal or snack, or they’ll simply feed you, especially if it’s an elder asking you, (they really do take sheer joy in doing so). So if you come across a Filipino and he greets you with one of these instead of a ‘how’s it going?’, he isn’t being nosy about your eating habits; this is simply a very common way for Filipinos to greet one another. https://theculturetrip.com/asia/philippines/articles/the-best-traditional-filipino-dishes-you-need-to-try/
Good Day Everyone,
how's your day going?
been asking myself am i being repetitive?
are you also?
I’m pleasantly surprised at the benefits of doing these same things every day. The best part is these are all things that I would continue doing every day in just about any scenario. Even if I won the lottery and never had to work for money, I’d still do all of them. They’re all things that bring me great joy and allow me to work on what matters most to me. By starting now and doing the same things every day, I’m building a foundation of daily habits that will eventually become my vision—the ideal day I’m working towards.
I would highly recommend picking even one single thing to do every day. It may not seem like much, but after a few weeks the results will truly compound.
have a good day everyone.godbless us all
Robots have taken over?
artificial intelligence has expanded explosively. AI drives eighty percent of the global economy, and “there is one AI for every ten people.” Robots have displaced half the American people from the jobs they’d held. Unsurprisingly, opposition is growing widespread and ugly. And in the midst of this disquieting development, evidence has turned up that nearly 700 people have been mysteriously murdered around the country through their neural implants.
Outside schools new technologies are coming to life everyday… if we pay a little of attention we can see: Artificial Intelligence, 3D Printing, Robotics, Big Data, Internet of Things (IOT), Virtual Reality, Genomics, Mobile Computing, Augmented Reality, Smart Cities and so on and is difficult to make in a prevision in a short period of time for the new ones…. And what is happening inside schools? Almost the same strategies, the same processes, the same contexts and the same learning spaces we had in the previous industrial revolutions.
Jobs for life are almost nonexistent become more like a utopia”. Most of our students will face a “mash-up” of micro job
The problem in the future could not be the lack of employment, but the shortage of skills that the new jobs will demand.
"Time of our Lives"
Life always offers,
options and choice.
We hope our paths,
bring us rejoice.
The journey's we take,
are often alone.
But sometimes it's wiser,
to pick up the phone.
So much more sweeter,
with a friend or a few.
The history of time,
holds memories like glue.
Beautiful moments,
with friends we create.
In our minds forever,
brings joy to each plate.
No matter how small,
we must savour the taste.
Friendships need time,
dissolve upon haste.
Every good friend,
passionately strives,
always seeks truth,
and the time our lives.
"Never Ever"
A 24-year-old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted…
“Dad, look the trees are going behind!”
Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24-year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed…
“Dad, look the clouds are running with us!”
The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man…
“Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.”
Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.
"“Do not judge, or you too will be judged.For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you."
"Without respect love is lost,
" Without caring love is boring,
"Without honesty love is unhappy,
"Without trust love is unstable"
How Do You Start Your Days?
"Starting your day with an intention will leave you willing and available to say "no" to what is not serving you in your life."
“What do I want to achieve today?”
Chasing Dreams
You might not achieve what you set out to achieve when you pursue your dreams; there is a very real likelihood it won’t happen. But don’t you want to give yourself the chance while you can? Because even though you might not want to give up on your dreams, if you put if off long enough, your dreams could give up on you. Because dreams are not perpetual; they are temporary. Like many things in life, they have expiration dates.
My eyes weep;
My heart looks back;
My soul grieves;
My every thought flies back to you!
Your voice laughs;
Your humor shines;
Your words excite;
Your teasing caused my heart to sing!
Our jokes, risque;
Our stories, hot;
Our thoughts shared;
Our times together were too few!
Now it's gone;
Now all is lost;
Now missing you;
Now what will tomorrow bring?
Take Breaks
This may sound counter-intuitive especially to the workaholic types but it’s true.
Taking regular breaks can make you more productive.
Regular breaks allow us to regroup, rethink, replenish and relax.
You know the saying, “All work, no play makes Jack a dull boy.”
The best ideas usually come to me during break time.
Here’s the twist though, you have to learn how to take a real break.
I mean, if you’re still worrying about finishing your task while taking your break then you’re missing the point. The idea is to “get out of it” and enjoy – have a cup of coffee, relax, take a nap (just a nap), eat ice cream, talk face to face with somebody else, stare at the horizon, whatever.
Take a break.
"When we indulge in wishful thinking, we make ourselves vulnerable to exploitation"
-People who tend toward wishful thinking make themselves vulnerable to disappointment and pain.
For the frontliners
As the day goes by little by little our dear frontliners are getting more and more tired of the current situation .
“The Lord will protect you and keep you safe from all dangers. The Lord will protect you now and always wherever you go.” – Psalm 121:7-8
As of this moment Coronavirus Cases:
26,548,024
Deaths:

18,732,521
Please pray with me.
Dear God, I know that the first step in all spiritual healing is to believe. I believe! I open my mind and heart believing in your infinite power and possibility. I believe that healing is a dynamic and reachable experience, a reality that can be experienced right now. I maintain a patient and loving attitude, for I believe that your healing activity is now at work in my mind and body. I look forward, with joyful expectation, to the perfect wholeness that you are now bringing into manifestation through me. I believe in your constant expression of perfect good in and through me. I rest in the certainty of your healing power. I know that with you all things are possible. In Jesus Christ's name, Amen.
I hope one of the coming days that the world will heal and that the pandemic will come to an end so that we can go back to our normal life.
Smile
“We shall never know all the good that a simple smile can do.” - Mother Teresa
A smile can brighten up someone’s day, and is the precursor to laughter which (incidentally) is the best form of medicine. Smiling elicits the same happiness that exercise induces, as far as our brains are concerned. In other words when we smile, we feel good.
You’re actually better-looking when you smile
when you’re smiling, the whole world smiles with you
why not get others to smile too?
a little faith
"I tell you the truth, if you have faith and don't doubt, you can do things like this and much more." (Matthew 21:21)
Have some faith in yourself, and then you can move mountains and accomplish anything you set your mind to.
in order to live a really fulfilling and prosperous life, one needs to have faith in their own abilities and god-given talents to be able to utilise them most effectively in being of service to other people
You do need to know how to give in order to receive, and before you do receive the abundance that is rightfully yours.
There is an abundance of time and money available in the world
'the hard way'
Working hard does not necessarily mean you save yourself time and money or both, together with living an abundant life.
Faith opens up doors where there were only walls.
The epitome of faith: Service. Love. Giving. Respect. Patience. Just having a go. Have faith and do your best.
good morning everyone .happy posting and may the good lord always guide us and bless everyone here@read.cash.
Practicing reflection
Reflection is an essential tool for living and recovering from food abuse.
Words fly out of your mouth before you even realize you’re speaking or know what you’re saying.
You hit the brakes when a squirrel races across the street in front of your car. You reach for a slice of birthday cake at a party before asking yourself if you’re hungry or like this kind cake.
frankly, most of life is hardly made up of events in which you must act quickly or face death.
Most of life is comprised of minor decisions which may not seem, but may be, meaningful at the time.
we’re usually on auto-pilot when it comes to decision-making and may develop a habit of making all decisions through reacting rather than reflecting.
Too many of us barely or rarely consider our motivation.
We believe what our parents believed politically, morally or spiritually, parent the same way or the intentionally opposite way we were raised, are comfortable in our lack of consideration of larger issues, and often go along to get along.
Reflection makes us uneasy because it throws us into confusion or, worse, not knowing what we think or whether it’s right or wrong.
Reflection means considering how we think and behave. It’s not about making judgments or deciding whether we’re worthwhile human beings.
looking at the self and life from every angle, observing our feelings, beliefs, and behaviors objectively, letting thoughts bounce or float around until they settle somewhere.
Reflection is holding up a mirror to ourselves. The process offers surprises about who we are as often as confirmation, confusion as often as clarity.
Practicing reflection shows maturity and leads us to enlightenment. By getting to know yourself better, you will take more appropriate and effective action.
By thinking more about who you really are, you will move closer to who you really want to be.
Carve out time to reflect every day and make it a habit.
let your mind do more work than your impulses so that you retrain your brain to stop and think before making choices.
“As water reflects the face, so one’s life reflects the heart.”
have a great day everyone and reflect once in a while..

MOTIVATION
“one of our misconceptions about motivation is that we think that if we simply calibrate rewards and calibrate punishments in a precise way, people will do what you want them to do, what you expect them to do. And that’s just fundamentally not true.”
Trust Yourself
https://www.facebook.com/v3.0/plugins/like.php?action=like&app_id=&channel=https%3A%2F%2Fstaticxx.facebook.com%2Fx%2Fconnect%2Fxd_arbiter%2F%3Fversion%3D46%23cb%3Df146b6646fdfe14%26domain%3Dwww.karenrkoenig.com%26origin%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fwww.karenrkoenig.com%252Ff32f3c158c59fb%26relation%3Dparent.parent&color_scheme=light&container_width=0&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.karenrkoenig.com%2Fblog%2Fhonesty-about-eating&layout=box_count&locale=en_GB&sdk=joey&send=true&show_faces=false
Many people with eating problems don’t trust themselves, not only around food, but to make wise decisions for themselves in numerous arenas. Self-distrust is learned in childhood and is often confused with not knowing what you think or feel. Difficulty identifying thoughts and emotions is different from distrusting what you experience. Think of self-knowledge as the precursor to self-confidence.
Trusting yourself comes after knowing what’s going on inside you. Labeling emotions in the most specific way possible provides this information. Yes, you have to trust that the label you put on feelings is accurate, but emotions are only a piece of the information puzzle. Assuming that you are able to identify affective states all or most of the time, you possess the major skill for developing self-trust. Of course, if you’re uncertain about what you feel or suffer from self-doubt, particularly when you’re in emotional distress, you’ll have to work on believing in yourself as well.
PRACTICE SELF TRUST
Practice self-trust. It is not a commodity, but a skill which needs to be honed. It is not something which is either there or not there. You may trust yourself in some areas but not in others. That’s natural and normal. As you build self-trust, you’ll gain confidence and your decisions will be better and better in a self-enhancing, positive feedback loop.
S M A R T -go!als
ask most people what is their one major objective in life, they would probably give you answer, such as, "I want to be successful, be happy, make a good living and the top 1 answer i want to be rich ," and that is it. They are all wishes and none of them are clear goals.
Goals must be **SMART**:
1. S--specific. For example, "I want to lose weight." This is wishful thinking. It becomes a goal when I pin myself down to "I will lose 10 pounds in 90 days."
2. M--must be measurable. If we cannot measure it, we cannot accomplish it. Measurement is a way of monitoring our progress.
3. A--must be achievable. Achievable means that it should be out of reach enough to be challenging but it should not be out of sight, otherwise it becomes disheartening.
4. R--realistic. A person who wants to lose 50 pounds in~30 days is being unrealistic.
5. T--time-bound. There should be a starting date and a finishing date.
Please comment your opinion on this and add something yours.
Start Your Day Right!
The thing you do when you wake up is to rush into stress,you first think about our problems and difficulties and start worrying and become stressed.
The thing that you need to do is to...
**Breathe...**
**Re-align your mind and body**
with the joy that lives inside you.You need to choose if you want your day to be a great day. You will have to give yourself time to re-align your brain to positivity,to re-direct your brain to what is good in your life.what is good in your life right now!!Take a moment to think about it..!!!Start your day with a smile,with intention...!!
*"Always wake up with a smile knowing that today you are going to be a step closer to your dreams".*
Ask yourself: “How do I want this day to go”. “How do I want to feel today?”… “How to I want to treat others?”
How you start your day, is usually how you’re going to LIVE your day.
If you start it believing it’s going to be a great day, chances are it will be. If you start your day, with the INTENTION you are going to be happy today, no matter what happens, chances are, you will be happy, no matter what happens.
Good Morning to All
BER Months Na!!!!
Life A Hell or Heaven /Past or Present
Our life is always the way we treat ourselves.It would be like hell if we treat it badly/live in the past and it would be heaven if we love ourselves.
Many people spend their life at the mercy of circumstances,at the mercy of people,at the mercy of what happened to them,not living in the present because they are stuck in the prison of their past.
In Most people's life their past is the reason of their destruction.Somebody has experienced something bad in past and they start their life living in it ,being stressed all the time and also have fears related to this in future.Most people will be thinking that this article will be about pasts relationship.including this many things in our past affects our present.
1.When Someone Cheated You
You have been in a relationship for a long time and then you come to know that the other person was cheating you,That breaks from inside.You then either try to take revenge or try to suicide.
Do you want to live with a wrong person?so why are you crying for that person.The reality of that person came to you because God wanted to save you from further destruction by living with that person.
The best way to take revenge from that person is to focus on your goals and for God sake not allow that person to come back in your life.One who did you wrong once will always do you wrong.If you will live in the victim story and hate they will win ,don't let them win.you are strong enough to let it go.
2. When someone did you Wrong
People do wrong in a lot of ways ,by getting the thing that was your right,by trying to create hurdles in your life and by killing someone you loved.
If you can do something legally then do it as in third case you can do something legally.But in other cases the only way to take revenge from them is to struggle,struggle for your rights,struggle for the things better than they stole from you.One day will surely come when you will be at a higher level than them and they will be wishing for the things you have.This will is your success.so struggle for it.
3. When Your Beloved Dies
This is the pain that seems to never heel,life seems to be ended.When someone beloved dies,the first thing is that we can't believe it.What will be do without them?how will be live without them that are the thoughts that come to our mind at that time.
***Time Heels Everything.*** We have potential to bear everything.Just give yourself time and everything will be fine one day.The one who has gone will never come back the only thing we can do is to pray for them and live our life betterly so that they will be Happy by seeing us in good situations.
4. When You Can't Achieve Something
We were struggling hard for something but we can't achieve it.This may be the matter of getting a job,good grades or love means we loved someone but we can't have them in our life.
I would recommend you to just keep in mind the one thing that what God do is always good for us.If he has not given us something that will not be good for us.Now most of people will thing that how can be it bad.Bad means that if somehow after a long time that thing goes away fro our life due to some incident then what could we do? nothing Na.So stop thinking about this a always have hope for good and work even harder than before.
5. Regret of Something
If I would not have did that so that will no had happened in my life.If I had made the effort that time I would have achieved that thing in my life etc.There is nobody who didn't has regrets but some regrets are so big for us that they control our life.
Your past is gone.It does not matter what happened in past harsh cruel or unjust whatever the case, reliving the events will never do you any good , the only way to live happily is to let it go!!
Go and Motivate yourself ,
Good Morning to All,
Why Do People Dream?
—Moonwalker
Let us define "dream" first:
Dream is a series of pictures of events, fragments of our memory or stories that our mind create while we sleep. It can be romantic, exciting or terrifying. Science has made a huge leap in terms of medical researches but there are still no answer why we dream but there are existing theories regarding this matter and these are as follows:
- To represent our desires
- A component and form of memory processing
- An act by the brain to prepare itself to face challenges
- Offline memory reprocessing
- Meaningful reflections of mental functioning
There are a lot of factors that can affect our dream. It could be because of alcohol, drugs and even mental state of an individual individual.
Nightmares
* Nightmares on the other hand can be caused by stress, fear, trauma, illness, drugs or can be an indication of depression.
Lucid Dream
* Lucid dreaming ay isa sa pinaka-popular na topic sa ating lahat. It is a state of sleep where the dreamer knows na nananaginip siya and may full control siya sa panaginip niya.
Sleep Paralysis
* Eto yung feeling mo na gising ka pero hindi ka makagalaw, makahinga ng maayos at makapagsalita. It occurs when a person passes between stages of wakefulness and sleep
Sleep Walking

A complete guide to TRON / TRONIX (TRX) Crypto Project
TRON in brief
**Definition**
TRON is a protocol based on blockchain technology launched in 2017 by Justin Sun. Designed for the entertainment industry, the TRON blockchain wants to build a decentralized content distribution platform to offer an alternative model to the current model, where production houses or distribution platforms monopolize a large part of the wealth produced by creators. .
**Goal**
TRON wishes to allow each creator to freely own and share their own content , while having the power to decide for themselves the conditions of their distribution to the general public: distribution price, limited or unlimited access ...
The goal is to give back to content creators the right to fully dispose of the fruit of their labor, to create a new, fairer sharing ecosystem in reaction to the current particularly expensive centralized platform economy.
**Product**
The TRON project and its cryptocurrency TRX aim to offer an increasingly sophisticated product during its roadmap. Its stabilized back phase is called Eternity and will only be reached after 10 years (in 2027). Here are the different stages of the development of the TRON blockchain:
Exodus (August 2017 to December 2018): work on the code bases, launch of the Mainnet
Odyssey (January 2019 to June 2020): community development, reward for the most invested developers who will be elected by the users of the network
Great Voyage (July 2020 to July 2021): partner companies will be able to create personalized tokens on the platform (convertible into TRX)
Apollo (August 2021 to March 2023): content creators and developers will in turn be able to create custom tokens
Star Trek (April 2023 to September 2025): integration of a decentralized video game platform
Eternity (September 2025 to September 2027): developers will be able to finance and monetize their projects by raising funds on the TRON platform.
**Consensus protocol**
TRX 100 billion were distributed on the network: 40% to investors of the ICO, 35% to the TRON foundation and its ecosystem, 15% in private supply and 10% to Peiwo (1 st application on TRON).
TRON is based on a particular consensus mechanism: Proof of Replication, which is reminiscent of Proof of Storage . Note that TRON has been accused of having plagiarized the Filecoin and IPFS documents to explain its consensus protocol in its white paper.
The Proof of Replication is to provide storage space to the network. Network users thus donate TRX to all those who share this storage space with them. Each creation of space contributes to the creation of a block of the chain.
TRON aims to be efficient and flexible by allowing content to be stored in several places: if certain nodes leave the network, the content can be preserved before finding new nodes to increase the storage space.
Advantages and disadvantages of TRON
**The advantages of TRON**
The TRON blockchain responds to a real problem : that of the very high cost of intermediaries in the world of entertainment. It creates a much fairer ecosystem by giving back to content creators all of their rights to their creations;
Justin Sun (CEO of TRON) is extremely popular in Asia , which inspires an example of professional success among young people. Its Peiwo application, Snapchat's Chinese competitor, is a real success;
TRON relies on a solid team of developers;
The TRON community is very developed and there is a real international enthusiasm for the project.
**The disadvantages of TRON**
The project is only in its first phase and it is important to remain cautious before predicting a meteoric success for the TRON blockchain;
The token is currently largely overvalued compared to the progress of the project;
The personality of Justin Sun is not unanimous and the most suspicious see him as a crook.
there you go
Hello friends,
If you're like most people, you love receiving Bitcoin.
If you're also like most people, you hate giving away your Bitcoin in the form of paying for stuff.
You are not alone.
BTC is looking more and more like a true digital gold -- AKA a store of value that people love to hold, but hate to spend. I fall into this category myself--why would I spend my Bitcoin on that avocado toast, when I might be able to buy an Xbox with that same amount of money 10 years from now? Plus, Bitcoin simply isn't built for mass-scale micro-transactions. The scramble over scalability has been a shitshow since the beginning, and it's still not clear if any proposed solutions will work once crypto goes global.
So, this begs the question...if crypto reaches the level of adoption we're all envisioning, and Bitcoin settles into its role as digital gold...which cryptocurrency will take the place of normal, day-to-day cash, which people will use to buy and sell stuff?
whats happening now?
new mutation of the SARS-CoV-2 virus called G614 had replaced the first version it is now the most dominant c strain circulating around the globe

What is magic?
A crucial question is, “What is magic?” My definition is human participation in the universe. To be human is to be connected, and the universe is also open to influence from human actions and will. Science itself encourages us to stand back from the universe, understanding one and it in a detached, objective and abstract manner, while religion sees human connections to the cosmos through a single god or many gods who direct the universe.
