A couple of days ago I posted a question on LinkeIn to open a discussion. The answers that are starting to arrive are by far, rich, deep and constructive, in a proposal that is born in the concern for balance for more momentum, in balance for more reach.
My question says: No spirituality, No sustainability. What do you think? And here are the first reactions:
Great discussion opener, Jorge! But how do we define “spirituality”? It
is tricky to talk about spirituality when religions sometimes feel that
they have a corner on that market. In my opinion, all fundamentalism
(belief that there is only one “right” way to think or live) undermines
sustainability, but interspirituality (belief that all traditions have
basic similar values) facilitates cooperation and sustainability. E.A.

Surperstition is not a way of dealing with a complex problem. D.C.
Wow! It’s been a long time since I saw someone equate spirituality with superstition! That’s quite a leap right there.
My own spirituality has, at it’s core, a deep and fundamental respect
for the planet and all our fellow creatures on it. I don’t preach (God
forbid!!) but if more people felt this and practiced this,
sustainability would not even be an issue today. R.B.
Jorge,
