Can we conclude from this that there is no purpose to definitions like "good" and "evil"? Or is it that we are not as advanced to exist socially as our animal sisters? And how does the conception of spirituality relate to this? Do we get conceptions of "good" and "bad" from spirituality? I think we get them from dogma, but I wonder if spirituality contains them as well? I know that early belief systems included anthropomorphic deities, which mirrored human follies and acted in ways that could be terms "good" and "bad" (but the goddesses and gods didn't carry those labels). |
Spirituality,can be noble,beautiful,
and shine like a beacon,alas,though,when "it" is within,many of mankind it is
distorted by their ignorance,and ego-centered behavior.
