1.What is the difference between spirituality and religion?
Religion and Spirituality are often confused with each other, yet in many respects religion has very little to do with spirituality and everything to do with the attainment of secular power and wealth for rather base and venal reasons.
Religion invariably presents an oversimplistic and narrow view of reality, is intolerant of contrary views and demeaning to the basic tenets underlying spirituality in that it attempts to present a finite and limited interpretation of the infinite.
Spirituality on the other hand is usually a far deeper personal experience associated with an individual's personal quest to re-discover his or her essence and who he or she really are. (i.e. the essence of one's identity so to speak) This quest invariably involves entering into some form of holotropic state (either planned or spontaneously) and experiencing a life-changing spiritual event associated with the person's reconnection with the Creative Principle (or God, for want of a better name) This "reconnection" has no real counterpart in everyday human experience, so very few people who experience it ever talk about it.
2. What is the difference between someone listening to what you say and hearing what you say?
When someone listens to what you say it usually implies that they are hearing the words come out of your mouth and either not understanding or sympathizing with what you have ot say or letting them go in one ear and out the other. It usually menas they really don;t care whatt you have to say, they are just entertaining your silly drivel.
However, hearing what you say menas they are taking a vested interest in what you are saying and using the ears, heart and brain to process what you have to say and respond back to you. They connect with what you are saying; even if they may not understand they still make the attempt to get it.
3. What's the difference between a Father, and a Daddy?
A father is a biological component of your genetic makeup who serves as nothing more than a figure in some familial structure that society has emblazoned on us as being traditional and perfect.
A daddy is someone who goes beyond the title anf fulfills the role as one of the caretakers, guiders and nurtures of a child. He presents himself in both emotional and intellectual spheres to help shape a child's upbringing and to be responsible for all the things that come with being a parent.
4. What's the difference between being married and living together?
Well, one implies a governmental and church sanctioned union of two people to signify an eternal bond and connection as husband and wife (or husband and husband or wife and wife.....tree and animal?). Living together doesn;t really imply some kind of union. It's all about learning to live with someone and learning what the other person is life, idiosyncracies and all. However, some people who are against the idea of marriage see living together as no different than being joined in wedded bliss. They see it as a spiritual union that does not require some law to make it official on paper.
5. What's the difference between growing up and growing old?
Growing old is the increading growth in age and physicality. It;s a physiological growth. Growing up is more mental and involves learning life lessons, becoming mature, and experiencing things on different levels than when you are younger. Of course, many people, for one reason or another grow up earlier than others which results in ratehr intelligent people who know more about life than some adults.
6. What's the difference between getting what you want and getting what you need?
How Maslowe. Needs vs. Wants. Hmmmm.... What you want is not neccessarily what youneed and what you need may not be what you want. A need is something required for your survival and health whether it be physical or mental. A want fulfills some emotional need (which can be materialistic). For instance, we all NEED to have food and water, or we NEED medication even tho we don;t want it becauseit tastes bad. On the flip side, we may WANT to buy something new because it is shiny and cool and makes fun noises....but we don;t need it to survive.
7. What's the difference between punishment and discipline?
Discipline is the process of teaching a child the difference between acceptable and unacceptable behavior. Good discipline should be a positive force focusing on what a child is allowed to do. The goal of discipline is to help a child change impulsive, random behavior into controlled, purposeful behavior, and discipline should be reinforced with teaching, firmness, and reminders. The goal of discipline is eventually self-discipline or self-regulation. We want our children, when they are away from us, to have a system of rules within them that they will use to govern their behavior toward themselves and toward others. We want to bring our outside control inside the child.
Punishment is one technique of discipline. It may be physical–a spank or slap; or psychological–disapproval, isolation from others, or withdrawal of privileges. The goal of punishment is to inhibit unacceptable behavior.
