Boz
he was so heart-bleeding
and wasn't he so.
heart on his sleeve.
oh, he moaned about the state of the world.
although at the end of the day
he was so little selfish,
so caring about us,
though the truth was
it was just his own little world
masked in 'politics'.
he wanted control.
and wasn't he so.

Spirituality Vs Religion googled
a wider, deeper, higher perspective
Spirituality/Religion
A point well worth pursuing. ..
What are the contrasts generally made between these two poles, of 'religion' on the one hand and that thing called 'spirituality' on the other?
What are the more elegant soundbites which introduce this view, or views?
Most of which soundbites, or quotes, are bound to be biased in favoring 'spirituality' rather than 'religion'!
Simply because the latter doesn't define itself as distinct from, and of a lesser order than 'spirituality'. Indeed it is implicitly taken for granted in all religions, that it represents the spiritual order.
Whereas, by contrast, those who define themselves as spiritual rather than religious are naturally the ones who make these comparisons. And to the detriment of the other.
We have killer Buddhist monks in some country right now, who have taken up a political stand against Islam. That's 'religion' rather than 'spirituality'. It's one group against another. The actual issues involved likely involving social issues and citizens' rights rather than purely religious ones. Or to speculate further only knowing the headline about this particular issue: even Buddhism over the centuries can take on a fossilised 'religious' character, despite the inward spiritual orientation or calling at it's original inception.
Other's quotes, from people who have thought about this issue and took the trouble to coin their understanding in the nutshell of a soundbite, should provide a fertile starting point.
May even be able to weave and collate them into a coherent body of writing; filling in the gaps to link one with another; or else, additionally, to hammer home the most salient points and overall essential message?

This story about a giant multi-national company whose name is a household word, is a case-study in how global financial forces over the previous few decades have wrecked economies, and companies.
