Religion is everywhere, even if we don't realize it. Some common elements of religion include group activities, morals, actions, and rituals. It may not seem like it, but these religious factors are involved in our daily lives, including mine. After learning more about religion, I'm starting to realize how much it affects me on a daily basis. When it comes to group activities, I tend to participate in them at school. Every now and then one of my professors assigns me to a group to do a project or presentation. The same goes for sports. If I ever play soccer, I get put on a team so I can participate in a game. When it comes to people of one religion, they tend to participate in some group activities as well. This may involve things like masses, retreats and holiday celebrations. So, even if I don't participate in group activities that have anything to do with spirituality or sacredness, I still participate in similar situations. Next I will talk about morality. Everyone has a set of morals that they live by. In my opinion, morals are one of the key factors that define the kind of person you are. I live my morals, as they are my guide to living a happy life. Some of them include always family first, treat others how you want to be treated, and no matter how difficult things may seem, there is always a solution to every problem. Every day I try to be a good person. Every time I went to the game room after finishing class, there always seemed to be someone bullying someone else about a video game. I play this game called Brawl, which is basically a fighting game, and some people are not good at this game, and those who are good tend to pick on others. I notice that every now and then... halfway through the paper... we're done, there's usually some kind of party at the entrance to the church where attendees can relax and enjoy some food and drinks. This is something my family does once a year. We don't actually go to church as often as we should, but we make sure to perform at least this ritual. In conclusion, some of the things I do could actually be described as religious since some religions participate in similar situations or actions. I may not do some of the actions above every single day, but I do them anyway. Everything I have stated is a huge part of my life and makes me who I am. I guess I can say that all the things I've touched on are all religious guidelines for living my specific life. If I don't follow these guidelines, I won't actually be myself. Therefore, as long as I do things accordingly, I should live a happy life.
