The issue of luxury is also important. As we heap more distractions around us, it becomes harder for us to ignore them. 3 of this list, I contributed a lengthy post from which the above was taken. I really would appreciate hearing reactions to my questions. I extracted the questions from the post to help focus on those specific issues.
Spirituality is an emotion a feeling.
I wanted to comment on the statement that spirituality is a feeling. I would respectfully disagree on this point. I think spirituality is a state of being. I would liken it more to how close or how far away one is from G-d. If one were to view spirituality along a continuum, as one reader suggested in last week's edition, I would say that each one of us could describe their spiritual development as lying figuratively at some point along that continuum.
