The connection of a person to others and life is what many consider “Spirituality”. It is a connection between souls and spirits. Existing in various forms spirituality can decrease morality, increase coping skills and increase recovery at times.

Similar to relativism is “postmodernism”. It rejects all claims of absolute knowledge, role of reason, and rationality in science (Taylor, 2014). Truth is in accordance to perception is what is stated by postmodernism.

The person’s temporary voyage at earth ends and an eternal life starts to reap the fruit of good deeds and also a person is held accountable for their sins. (Echert, 2017).
