For me spirituality "boils down to something very simple. Be the best person you can be, with progress, not perfection. This is why we are here, as spiritual beings (souls), seeking human experiences.
When I use the term spiritual, I use it in a manner that transcends the binary of theism versus atheism. One can act entirely spiritual with or without a belief in “god” however one understands that term. Spirituality only requires love, empathy, compassion, humility, honesty and courage.
As I define spirituality, there is a flip side to the coin and all those positive feelings— accountability, both personally and holding others accountable for their words and deeds." https://medium.com/know-thyself-heal-thyself/spirituality-redefined-ff45cb53eaf2
Now, do you understand why I see your story as containing very spiritual messages?
