What does it mean to you to be spiritual?


On a personal level, not much. I’m not spiritual.

Do you believe things happen for a reason?


Is this meant to be an oblique way to ask about belief in god(s)? I have none, so no, I don’t think there is a single all-encompassing reason for things to happen.

What is your take on making mistakes?


It’s inevitable. I believe the wisest and most difficult course is to learn to deal with it with as much grace, dignity, and forgiveness of yourself and others as you can muster.


RANDOM THOUGHT: Today I was reminded that it takes Neptune 165 years to orbit the Sun. Therefore, there is no chance I will live long enough to witness a full Neptune orbit. Uranus, at 84 years, is an achievable target, but who wants to aim for Uranus?

I mean, I've heard "everything happens for a reason" from people who disclaim belief in any kind of supreme being, and know plenty of theists who push back fairly hard on "everything happens for a reason," so I think it's substantially more complicated than it being a proxy for a question about belief in God.
