Here's my take...if you're not in a position to take control over your life and change things but must take things as they come.. what better to believe it's all part of one big plan, behind which there is some logic..

This is quite an old dilemma and one of the main reasons for the existence of religion in itself.. it provides people with a strong grounding and a system of values rather than let them drift along meaningless on a river of time..

Once a person makes his choice there is little one can do to change it..

Hello MD,

My basis for this topic is philosophical, I'm taking a philosophy class and some of the questions you ask are the same I am bing asked. I bet most Dominicans are not well versed in philosophy, so why would they go all this trouble to make potion? Is there logic to Dominican thinking? Does the average Dominican believe in Science or "other explanations" for worldly events?

Thanks for your input.

Hello Mirador

I rarely get that feeling, I believe things are what they are & most things in life can be explained with very few exceptions... When in DR I speak to these old folks in the country side, they swear "others things" happened due to XYZ... their stories remind me of the show SuperNatural on the WB. I should have written them down I could have a show on the WB .

Peace,
