Spirituality is not directly the same as religion, as they are predicated upon your individual understanding of nature and the universe. Afrocentric and Eastern philosophies like Ancient Egypt and Buddhism define their spirituality as a means of growing and developing their internal self in order to achieve enlightenment and universal wisdom. They teach concepts such as that life and nature occurs in cycles, that the matriarchy is the natural order of life and women are the beholders of life while men are the protectors. (All biological life starts out as female before there's a gene mutation that results in a male. Mitochondrial DNA is passed almost entirely through the mother, the XY male chromosome has slightly less genetic mass than the XX female chromosome, and the law of conservation of matter says you cannot get something greater from something lesser, thus proving that women came before men and explains why men have nipples that have no biological function) That the soul is eternal, that the mind is the gateway between the material body and the immaterial soul, and that everything in the universe is interconnected at all points of time and space. This is why mediation has always been a central practice in Eastern and Afrocentric societies, because it is an exercise that not only stimulates the entire body, but also the mind and spirit. Western philosophies, such as the Abrahamic ones, define their spirituality as relying on external factors outside of themselves (such as "God") to influence their immediate life. They teach concepts such as that you have no more than one life, that women came from men and are lesser beings than men and the source of evil and wickedness in the world, that you are judged by "God" on the actions that happen to your life irregardless of whatever factors play into it (if you develop cancer at a young age, if you die in a tragic accident, if you die from a drug overdose, etc), and that you are born in sin and therefore must atone by giving money and externally projecting your energy outward in the form of prayer.

Plants can't fucking move and animals absolutely steal and kill their own species. Plants are indeed a sentient lifeform. They know that they need sunlight to thrive and will actively seek out more sunlight as they grow. Just because they move slowly and can't speak or communicate in a way you understand, doesn't mean they aren't intelligent or can't feel. (Venus fly traps have been observed to have been knocked unconscious and fail to respond to the hair trigger that closes the plant and consumes prey.) Animals don't have the same understanding of stealing or killing that we have. To them, it's not about committing an act of good or evil or possesing an object to give themselves an advantage, it's about their own survival predicated on their own individual biology. A lion will hunt a gazelle or zebra because that's how their biology dictates they operate to live, they eat meat to live, but when the lion is not hunting they are seen coexisting with gazelles and zebras at watering holes. --- "A man who stands for nothing will fall for anything." -Malcolm X "Truth, Freedom, and Health." -V.A.
