The proof that there is a need for spirituality is more than evident.
None is able to find peace of mind (and here I am talking about a permanent peace of mind)
only by materialistic-physical and mental means.
The fact that people have to repeat the same action again and again is the proof.
The satisfaction that you may find by having sex or doing other things only last a very short time.
Is not a permanent satisfaction that is why people go back to it again and again.
This is proof that human beings long for a permanent status not a temporary one so if the material-physical or mental side is unable to give that to us it is obvious that only the spiritual side can.
So your "logic" is that because temporary actions don't lead to permanent gratification, there is a need for spirituality? Not only is that logic completely flawed, it provides no evidence for the need of anything spiritual. It only provides evidence for the passage of time. Plenty of people find happiness in life without ever taking spirituality, or lack thereof, into account. I'm pretty happy with my life, I'm not at all a spiritual person.
Plenty of people are, however, unhappy. This isn't due to a lack of spirituality, hell I know plenty of spiritual people who I would say are fucking miserable. People are usually unhappy in life because they don't treat themselves with respect or consideration. Most people would rather sit in front of a TV all day than work out or read a book. I'm guilty of it too. But laziness leads to unhappiness. Not a lack of spirituality.
You're jumping more gaps than Mario and Luigi.
We live in a physical world. Not a spiritual world. What planet do you live on?
So I'll ask again, what is your proof of a need for spirituality?
“Love is the only bow on Life’s dark cloud. It is the morning and the evening star. It shines upon the babe, and sheds its radiance on the quiet tomb. It is the mother of art, inspirer of poet, patriot and philosopher.
It is the air and light of every heart – builder of every home, kindler of every fire on every hearth. It was the first to dream of immortality. It fills the world with melody – for music is the voice of love.
Love is the magician, the enchanter, that changes worthless things to Joy, and makes royal kings and queens of common clay. It is the perfume of that wondrous flower, the heart, and without that sacred passion, that divine swoon, we are less than beasts; but with it, earth is heaven, and we are gods.” - Robert. G. Ingersoll
