"Life without liberty is like a body without spirit." Kahlil Gibran
I
suppose one of the most important qualities of life is liberty, also
known as freedom: the concept of saying and doing what you want and when
you want, as long as you are not knowingly hurting somebody else.
Spirituality is about proclaiming this liberty. Earlier
I've said that I don't want to live in a religious box. Let us be clear;
religious addiction and religious abuse exist. In the name of God, some
people are hurt, maligned, ridiculed, and in extreme cases killed by
religious people who feel they have a right to judge and condemn. This
unfortunately is still happening in some parts of the world.
Spirituality seeks to bring people together with a sincere respect for
each others' religions and cultures. Spirituality is the key that opens
the religious box.
I affirm a freedom that is inclusive.
