00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.000
In our research one of the
things that we have found

2
00:00:03.000 --> 00:00:05.080
is that faith is perhaps one of
the best things

3
00:00:05.080 --> 00:00:09.160
that you can have or do as far
as your brain is concerned.

4
00:00:09.160 --> 00:00:13.240
When people feel either optimistic
on a very basic level,

5
00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.880
optimistic and having faith that
the world will be OK,

6
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.480
or whether people have actual
religious faith

7
00:00:19.480 --> 00:00:22.839
that God will help to resolve
a particular issue or problem,

8
00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:26.800
then having that idea,
those beliefs behind you

9
00:00:26.800 --> 00:00:29.760
helps to support your brain's functions.
It makes you less anxious

10
00:00:29.760 --> 00:00:32.759
and makes you less depressed
and you begin to activate

11
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.759
your own behaviors and
your own emotions

12
00:00:34.759 --> 00:00:36.840
in a way that is very positive

13
00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:40.200
and can ultimately lead to
those kinds of beneficial behaviors

14
00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:43.799
and changes that may ultimately be able
to change all of society.

15
00:00:43.799 --> 00:00:47.119
But it is difficult and is
obviously difficult to maintain

16
00:00:47.119 --> 00:00:49.600
those levels of faith especially

17
00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:52.240
during those dark moments
of human history.

18
00:00:52.240 --> 00:00:54.240
If you feel like, "well what's
the point of me doing this",

19
00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:56.799
then you don't even
take that first step.
