To act like a strict referee is to have strict rules and follow them but to not own the game itself.

Explanation:

A strict referee is someone who ensures that the game is being played well and fare by all the players and strictly punishes anyone who commits a cheat or disobeys the law.

However, it is not the referee who is responsible for the game but the players themselves, the referee is their to help it happen in a disciplined manner.

So, the job of the government is to enforce the laws on the people but to not own the work of the people, merely facilitate it strictly in a lawful fashion.

By religion, I'm Muslim so my Religion is Islam and I do believe in Islam Because

I believe in Islam as it does not base itself upon the experience of people who have passed away, but invites everybody to a personal experience of that which it teaches and guarantees. It claims that every truth can, in some manner or the other, be put to the test in this world, and it thus satisfies my reason.

I believe in Islam as it teaches that there can be no conflict between the word of God and the work of God, and thus resolves the supposed conflict between science and religion. It does not ask me to ignore the laws of nature and to believe in things which are contrary to them.

I believe in Islam as it does not seek to crush my natural desires but guides them along right channels. It does not, by altogether crushing my desires, reduce me to a stone; nor does it, by leaving them uncontrolled and unrestrained, reduce me to an animal, but, like an expert irrigation engineer who harnesses uncontrolled waters and makes them run into irrigation channels, thereby bringing prosperity to waste areas, it converts my natural desires by proper control and guidance into high moral qualities."

I believe in Islam for the reason that it has dealt fairly and lovingly not only with me but with the whole world. It teaches me not to discharge my duties towards myself but insists upon my dealing fairly with every other person and thing, and has furnished me with proper guidance for this purpose.

Islam, therefore, furnishes me not only with faith, but also with the certainty of knowledge which satisfies my intellect and compels it to admit the need of religion.

Hope it helps

To factors which can cause an increase and explain them life expectancy

Lisa [10]

Evidence-based studies indicate that longevity is based on two major factors, genetics and lifestyle choices.

Twin studies have estimated that approximately 20-30% of an individual's lifespan is related to genetics, the rest is due to individual behaviors and environmental factors which can be modified.

Don't smoke, don't binge drink, eat a healthy diet and take regular exercise. This can add 10 years to your life.
Maintain and develop strong social networks, with family or friends. Some studies suggest this has a protective effect on health.
Take advantage of any educational opportunities available in your adult life, even if you didn't do well at school. This seems to have health benefits.
Volunteer - There are likely to be opportunities to volunteer wherever you live and some studies suggest this can help maintain mental health and improve life expectancy.
