1.- See the movie ENEMY MINE in this Youtube link, or rent it. 2.- 3.- 4.- 5.- PHRASES THAT CHANGE LIVES. "In the past, people were eager to clutch at legends and superstitions in order to attain a quick, simple closure regarding what they did not know or understand, to make it seem to themselves that they did know and understand. Humanism recognizes this historical use of mythologies, and sympathises with the needs that drive people to treat them as truths. It points out that what feeds their hearts and minds—love, beauty, music, sunshine on the sea, the sound of rain on leaves, the company of friends the satisfaction that comes from successful effort—is more than the imaginary can ever give them, and that they should learn to redescribe these things—the real things of this world—as what gives live the poetry of its significance." (Anthony Grayling in The God Argument p.257).
