spirituality
Some people say they're not religious but they are "spiritual." Other people are religious and spiritual, I suppose. Some people aren't spiritual or don't identify as such.
Do you consider yourself a spiritual person? How do you define spiritual?
I don't think I am particularly spiritual. I mostly (possibly unfairly?) tend to associate it with being touchy-feely about religion (or religion-like things or things inspired by religion), and I just don't lean that way. Religiousness was rooted in reward and punishment for me. And yes, somehow I did get something out of that, although I think the last time I got anything out of it may have been as a young teenager. I remember praying being "good" when I paid attention to each word and said each one clearly (which doesn't always come naturally when praying in a language that's not your native tongue) and thought about the right things at each time. Not because that took me to some higher plane, but because that's what praying was supposed to be - that was the correct way.
