Spirituality
Found another Brother and he had this quote that works for the way I feel about many of todays women.
“While real faith requires sacrifice and a willingness to look outside yourself, “spirituality” alone is internal, ego-based and easy to do. Spirituality without religion is like pretending you won the game without playing.”
I just ended a month long ordeal with a lady that this fits pretty well. Kinda like the word NICE. Fuck that.

Fabulous quote! “Real faith” also requires accountability. That’s probably one of things about it that makes so many people (both men and women) shy away from it.
I like your comparison of “spiritual” to “nice,” too. Just like a “faith” that refuses to hold itself to any specific beliefs, “nice” is just wishy-washy. It’s not something to condemn someone for, but neither is it something one is lauded for. Kindess, generosity, devotion, gentleness? Yes. “Niceness?” Never. At worst it’s pale and limp-wristed. At best, it’s still lacking in passion and depth.

Like I said to you…gotta have some balance.
A little nice, a little nasty and a little (ok a lot) naughty. *THUD*
Real people have all these traits within them. It’s what makes us all human…those who present themselves with only one-I’de be suspicious of them…they’re apt to be either very boring, very fake or very much mentally ill. LOL

Oh, yeah! Naughty is very “nice.”

Some people are really nice…I mean, it’s their personality. Under that they have those other things they chose to keep out of view. Nothing wrong with that except it isn’t what I look for. LOL But those people who are putting on a front, pretending to care and show NICE will drive others away. It’s annoying.
Nasty is ok when it’s called for.
Be naughty. Often. It keeps life interesting.

Tis the time of year for “naughty or nice” and how does that go? Oh yeah…….. Santa won’t bring you anything unless you are “nice” ….. guess that is why under my tree will be empty huh michael.. LOL I am with Raven on this one people who pretend to be “nice” scare the hell out of me! it’s the whole package that counts…..naughty, nice, brutally honest, and most of all accepting of all the other person brings to life, chameloens aren’t noted for much but changing their colors, I would rather have a leopard who knows where his spots are and doesn’t intend on changing them!!! …. don’t change a thing
