I read somewhere that the difference between being religious and being spiritual is that religious people fear hell, while spiritual people have already lived through it. I have a lot of thoughts about spirituality, especially with the PD card we have been dealt, as I am sure many here do. No need to get into all of those, I just wanted to share this, because for some reason I cannot explain, this distinction between religion and spirituality gives me comfort.

One thing PD does is force you to focus your energy and attention on those things that are most important to you, which unfortunately also exposes a great many problems in this world, of which we previously might have been blissfully unaware. I can't believe some of the things I used to think were important, now THAT was sick!

I may be going out on a limb posting on this, but if anyone gets comfort from this distinction, it's worth it. Sorry if anyone is offended.
