What is the difference between being "spiritually" inclined and just
having a grand appreciation for your life and the reality you currently
inhabit? Many people I've talked to often claim a sense of spirituality
without belief in some higher Creator/Supreme Being. Upon probing, what
I've found is simply that they appreciate the complexity and the beauty
of their environment (internal and external) without reference to some
all-powerful deity. So, my question would then be, why use the loaded
term spiritual, when really, you mean simple appreciation for your
circumstances (whatever you perceive/believe them to be)?
