There are six major religions on Earth. They are called Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism and Economics. Economics is probably the most important of these. It is very complicated, and no one really understands is, especially not the economists. Basically it is all about numbers and believing that these numbers mean something. And by something I mean money. Of course, the numbers don't actually mean money. They mean numbers, but don't tell the humans that.

rhythm: Human life is full of rhythm. Hearth-beats. Conversation. Sex. Poetry. The rhythms of workdays and weekends. The stroking of a dog as he lies on your lap. To be a human, it is to be, by definition, a kind of musician. To be successful is a simple matter of finding the rhythm that suits you, and sticking to it.

sentence: In grammar, a thing of infinite variations which effectively says the same thing for ever, on repeat.

superpower: Humans have the power to stop time. They do it by kissing. Or listening to music.
