if there's such a thing as 'spirituality' (and the word is a little too vague for me to confidently say that there is, but as a musician some part of me wants to say hell yes there is and some other part of me thinks it's being irrational) then there's more of it in the first three paragraphs than in the bible and qur'an put together.

wow

I sure think that "spirituality" could be a good word to use only since it gives a good reason to be happy (atleast to me) when we are observing nature. I think early humans were like this as well; so inspired by the grandeur of nature they even worshipped the elements. They were more spiritual than the false sense of "spirituality" (worshipping the dictator non-stop with zealousy) we see theists do all the time today.

So we maybe going back to that early true form of spirituality. I think more people would be "spiritual" this way. A state of being where all artifical joys from materialism vanishes but we are filled with pure joy upon seeing and reflecting upon the splendor of the world and the universe we live in.

Christians see this as "worshipping the creation rather than the creator." Then again, they say a lot of things! Rocked Over

but i must be honest about something. you described me as "caring" in the context of the earlier religious debates; i can't pretend it ever occurred to me that you were a victim.

yes, in hindsight, it seems caring. You were defending your position and ended up uprooting my beliefs in the process!

and the last line where you say you're happier than ever has lifted a certain feeling of guilt that's been nagging at me for a while. i've wondered if you'd be happier if you stayed with the mental oppression... maybe, but i'm glad you said otherwise.

glad I said it then. Honestly, it was very difficult at first due to the family's nasty response. Even now, my family is the only thorn (as in the situation that made me create the human rights thread last month). But I have kinda learned to deal with it.

I am absolutely happy though; no regrets whatsoever. If we hadn't ever "met' I would still be stuck in a miserable state with all my questions and struggles regardless of what my family would think. So it was all for the good.

i especially liked the line about the monsoon storms. that struck a nerve with me. my favourite spot where i sometimes like to go to just be alone and think is on top of a hill a few miles away. there's a church up there, which may strike people as odd - but it's a case of them building a church there because it's a beautiful spot rather that it being a nice spot because there's a church there. anyway, i don't know why, but it's at its most beautiful when it's raining.

thanks for sharing. wow. glad to know you too enjoy such scenery when it presents itself!
