Definition of Terms

Religion
There is no scholarly consensus over what precisely constitutes a religion.[1][2] It may be defined
as a cultural system of designated behaviors and practices, world views, texts, sanctified
places, prophesies,ethics, or organizations, that relate humanity to
the supernatural, transcendental, or spiritual.
Different religions may or may not contain various elements ranging from the divine,[3] sacred
things,[4] faith,[5] a supernatural being or supernatural beings[6] or "some sort of ultimacy and
transcendence that will provide norms and power for the rest of life".[7] Religious practices may
include rituals, sermons, commemoration or veneration
(of deities), sacrifices, festivals, feasts, trances, initiations, funerary services,matrimonial
services, meditation, prayer, music, art, dance, public service, or other aspects of human culture.
Religions have sacred histories and narratives, which may be preserved in sacred scriptures,
andsymbols and holy places, that aim mostly to give a meaning to life. Religions may contain
symbolic stories, which are sometimes said by followers to be true, that have the side purpose of
explaining the origin of life, the Universe and other things. Traditionally, faith, in addition to reason,
has been considered a source of religious beliefs.[8]

Institution

Institution is an organization founded for a religious, educational, professional, or social

purpose. It is an established official organization having an important role in a society,
such as the Church or parliament. Institution is an organization providing residential care
for people with special needs.

Mass (liturgy)
Mass is a term used to describe the main eucharistic liturgical service in many forms of Western
Christianity. The term mass is commonly used in the Catholic Church and Anglican churches, as
well as some Lutheran churches, Methodist, Western Rite Orthodox and Old Catholic churches.
Some Protestants employ terms such as Divine Service or service of worship, rather than the
word Mass. For the celebration of the Eucharist in Eastern Christianity, including Eastern Catholic
Churches, other terms such as Divine Liturgy, Holy Qurbana, and Badarak are typically used
instead.

Laziness

Laziness (also called indolence) is disinclination to activity or exertion despite having the ability to
act or exert oneself. It is often used as a pejorative; terms for a person seen to be lazy
include couch potato, slacker, and bludger.
In physcology laziness is a habit rather than a mental health issue. It may reflect a lack of self-
esteem, a lack of positive recognition by others, a lack of discipline stemming from low self-
confidence, or a lack of interest in the activity or belief in its efficacy. Laziness may manifest as
procrastination or vacillation. Studies of motivation suggest that laziness may be caused by a
decreased level of motivation, which in turn can be caused by over-stimulation or excessive
impulses or distractions. These increase the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter responsible
for reward and pleasure. The more dopamine that is released, the greater intolerance one has for
valuing and accepting productive and rewarding action. This desensitization leads to dulling of the
neural patterns and affects negatively the anterior insula of the brain responsible for risk
perception.
