Religion
Every day we run into countless strangers. People we will likely never know and are unlikely to see again. How do you know that when you get into the car and drive to work you are not going to get hit by someone running a red light? We could say it is because there are traffic laws and there are consequences for breaking them. When we get into our cars, we believe that other people accept these laws and that they are going to abide by them. They likely would want to get home safely as well. While at work you ask a co-worker whom you are not related to, know nothing about their personal life and have no relationship with outside of work to help you. Your co-worker will help you; however, because they believe that you would help them in a similar situation. You both believe that you work for the company and will receive a paycheck from the company. It is because we believe that cooperating with one another furthers us both in some way that we can cooperate.

Resurrecting Dragons
There weren't always dragons in the valley. My father never saw them like you today. One hundred, no two hundred years since the last one was seen, before we brought them back. I get to see them. Before my generation, no one could ever ride a dragon. They flew so high. They were too aggressive on the ground for anyone to even try. But just imagine the feeling of soaring through the clouds. This is what I get to do.
