Since this seems to be an actual problem that riles people up here:

Spirituality is.... (please reply with your definition, not just some snide remark or bullshit)

We can then take the top vote getters and see what ya'll think. I guarantee it is a fucking mess. But I probably shouldn't have said that. Seems a few think I should take anger management classes for using the "f word". Sorry to harm their precious eyes and sensibilities. We'll transport them to Victorian England after we get to the bottom of this mess.

I don't believe there is a real definition of the word. It seems to mean different things to different folks.

I am sorry, but you will never get a final definition of 'spiritual', the whole point of the word and what makes it attractive to people is that it has no real meaning, and can therefore be redefined to mean whatever the speaker/writer wishes. Some on this site have proposed, something like. " Emotional awe at the wonder of nature." As a secular meaning, but you will never stop people using it in a million other ways anyway, even if you do get that, and nothing else, put in all the dictionaries.

Spirituality. It's definition would by it's nature be as slippery as the subjective experiences it attempts to describe or classify.

For myself it generally connotes that someone is about to hold forth on something they know little about and have not done much thought on their own.

OMG, hahaha. Fucking awesome. πŸ˜„

But all joking aside, I DGAF about having a common definition for spirituality. I’m still gonna use the term in the way that makes most sense to me. I don’t want to be pigeonholed, ya know?
