Humans live by rules. Some of these rules are obvious; the law, for example, is an explicit way of detailing what is and isn’t legal in daily lives. However, ethics and morals represent the unspoken guidelines which humans follow. These rules differ from person to person, and can often be influenced by beliefs. One of the main ways ethics can be changed is through religion. Religion is a guiding way of life for many people, particularly in how they view the world and its creation. This view of life is celebrated in numerous ways by these believers, in ways such as hymns and holidays. E. E. Cummings, for example, was a poet that had a profound relationship with God his entire life. His father was a Unitarian minister, a leader that preached how God was one entity instead of the commonly-accepted three. Throughout his life Cumings turned to God for support and protection, often turning his gratitude into poetry to properly thank the higher power.
