If you interpret "spirituality" this broadly then the word is useless. This is why you'll receive some dismissive answers.

I drink espresso every morning. I challenge you to find a way to link that to this thread that isn't as useless as defining a synonym for the word "habit", or "preference", or similar.

Reality doesn't have to be interesting, nor do the results of self-examination. As best I can tell I'm a biological entity with a false sense of self and free will on a rock in the middle of an unfathomably large universe, the existence of which I will never understand. That's it. That's actually already quite interesting. Why do so many feel the need to try and force the elevation of the everyday and the mundane into that same plane? And worse yet, to speak condescendingly of others as you do so.



I don't personally interpret it that broadly, but I've been surprised and delighted by the range expressed in other comments today! So at least to me I can't really consider that broad definition useless, at least across a group of people.
