Today I was thinking about the dynamics of people, society and spirituality... and this came up: If we are to unite as people, get close to each other, share, live in community, etc. etc., how are we to achieve this and remain spiritual when the things that connect us are mostly superficial?
To bond with friends I go shopping, we get our nails done and gossip. We bash men, complain and mostly do things that would keep us away from our spiritual beliefs and go against most religious teachings.
To ensure a fight with most people, one needs to just talk about God, or their religion and their differences are most likely going to keep those people apart. Or, at the very least like they do not have that much in common, after all.
So what is it about something that is mostly about ultimate love cause us to get so defensive? I am not trying to bash religion, only the way we are... How can we get it so wrong??

I've tried to comment on this one a few times and keep hitting cancel. I'm as confused over this one as you are.
Dynamics of people...you know who have it right? CHILDREN...little tots. They spot each other and instantly connect, why does that change as we grow older. And they don't gossip they just ENJOY each other. Why can't it just stay that way? Love ya, Patti
