Atheists: what is "spirituality"?

[Alan V]

Don't you think that a society in which people feel fulfilled is to be desired, as opposed to a society in which people are mostly miserable? That's putting it in extreme terms (exaggerated for clarity) but I think that if a given culture tends to give people the tools they need to flourish, then that's a good thing. And flourishing is surely more than material wealth. (Someplace I read that the most common complaint Americans have when they go to a psychologist is that they have everything they want but they still aren't happy. I don't know if that's true or not, but it makes sense.) 

Spirituality is, currently, a rather unorganized concept that people use when they're trying to fulfill certain (perceived) needs.

In the U.S., people are oversold on nearly everything. That includes spirituality, or what is packaged as spirituality.

I find the principles of wabi sabi more helpful than just about anything else I have examined in my life, and I don't really think of those ideas as spiritual so much as common sense.

For instance:
1) Everything is imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete.
2) We can find beauty in the ordinary, just by paying attention.
3) We need less than we often think.
