Life is religion. Life experiences reflect how one interacts with God. Those who are asleep are those of little faith in terms of their interaction with the creation. Some people think that the world exists for them to overcome or ignore or shut out. For those individuals, the worlds will cease. They will become exactly what they give to life. They will become merely a dream in the "past." People who pay strict attention to objective reality right and left, become the reality of the "Future."

From the page: "Brain activity in a region tied to human emotion may help prompt people to be fair rather than efficient in handing out rewards and burdens, say researchers aiming to understand the inspiration behind moral actions.
U.S. scientists used imaging technology to measure the brain activity of 26 adults asked to make decisions about how to allocate meals to orphans. The researchers found that the stronger the activity was in the insula, a part of the brain associated with emotions, the more likely participants were to fairly spread the meals among the children.
Philosophers and economists have long debated why people make moral decisions. So-called moral sentimentalists, such as Adam Smith, argue that the distribution of goods is often rooted in empathy. Others, such as Plato, emphasize reason. This study, reported in the journal Science, suggests that emotion outweighs reason when fairness is at issue, said Michael Gill, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Arizona.
``There seems, at least initially, to be pretty good reason to think that when we make moral judgments, it's based on our emotions,'' said Gill, who was not associated with the study, in a telephone interview yesterday. ``That seems to suggest the sentimentalists are right.''"
