In this world there are many aspects of life. Within this life, we have work, sports, relationships, education, play, and many more things. I believe my reality of spirituality can be related to all of these things. I am a baseball player, and I play baseball to glorify God. Although baseball does not have anything to do with God, I play for God because God is part of my personal ontology, which is involved in all things in my life.

Another aspect of Philosophy which concurs with my view of reality is the Neoplatonism’s view of God. They believe God is the source of everything. Similarly, I believe God created all things and all things are His. God is the almighty creator of this world and I surrender all things to Him. They also believe that we cannot fill the void with finite things. I believe that we must live in the reality that good is fighting evil and choose a side.
