While Pragmatism has its place in my life, spirituality has a ritualistic and mystical awe surrounding it that makes 'thinking positively' much more sentimental and exciting for me.

For example, the pragmatic approach for me will simply make me feel better because I am thinking positively for the logical reason that feeling good is more productive than not feeling good.

The spiritual approach makes me feel excited, not only do I get to feel good as a side effect, but, I have an opportunity to talk with very interesting personalities; see incredible things that are far beyond my eyesight and to believe things that sound crazy to the average joe (that alone is exciting enough for me).


Really, though, the divider between pragmatism and spirituality doesn't exist; because there are many times I see myself being spiritual when I think i'm being pragmatic (seeing the meaning of life in my recursive for loop) and pragmatic when I am being spiritual (meditation being the most pragmatic, but spiritual, of many disciplines I suppose).


So aren't they really just the same thing?
