What kind of development are we actually talking about here?
Is it personal growth or something on a global scale?

Honestly, I see people asking this all the time. But if you look at any successor in modern times, they’re all grappling with the exact same thing—just with a bit more life experience or maybe some heavy cognitive baggage under their belts. Spirituality isn't a straight line; it's more like a spiral. We circle back through the same territories, either ascending to a higher level or just spiraling downward in stages. To me, spirituality is basically just the philosophy of the soul.

So, what’s the word from the mods and the rest of the peanut gallery?

(Personally, I'm a firm believer that all beauty and ugliness is just "in the eye of the beholder")

Wait, so you're telling me spirituality and philosophy are totally separate things!?
That would basically mean spirituality is for... well, people who can't handle thinking in a straight line, haha. 😁
But seriously, do you guys think everything really is just subjective?
Like, what could possibly be ugly about a gorgeous, golden sunset on a perfect July afternoon?
And on the flip side, what could anyone find beautiful about looking down into a literal septic tank full of trash and stench?

I mean, if everything is just relative...

I'm feeling, tee hee hee hee, RELATIVE!

Are they seriously staring the wrong way while this killer sunset is happening?
Or maybe you guys are just part of that whole anti-sentimental crowd? 😁

Do things actually have beauty built into them, or is it just us humans projecting all that aesthetic stuff onto everything we see?
The weather is absolutely gorgeous today, and honestly, it’s such a huge win that my kid isn't freaking out about heading back to school. 👋
